Jeremiah 1:13-16
New Living Translation
13 Then the Lord spoke to me again and asked, “What do you see now?”
And I replied, “I see a pot of boiling water, spilling from the north.”
14 “Yes,” the Lord said, “for terror from the north will boil out on the people of this land. 15 Listen! I am calling the armies of the kingdoms of the north to come to Jerusalem. I, the Lord, have spoken!
“They will set their thrones
at the gates of the city.
They will attack its walls
and all the other towns of Judah.
16 I will pronounce judgment
on my people for all their evil—
for deserting me and burning incense to other gods.
Yes, they worship idols made with their own hands!

13 The word of Yahweh came to me a second time saying, “(A)What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling (B)pot, facing away from the north.” 14 Then Yahweh said to me, “(C)From the north the evil [a]will break open on all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For, behold, I am calling (D)all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” declares Yahweh; “and they will come, and each one of them will (E)put his throne at the opening of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls round about and against all the (F)cities of Judah. 16 I will speak My judgments on them concerning all their evil, whereby they have (G)forsaken Me and have (H)burned incense to other gods and worshiped the (I)works of their own hands.
