Jeremiah 1:13-16
Expanded Bible
13 The Lord spoke his word to me ·again [or a second time]: “What do you see?”
I answered, “I see a pot of boiling water, tipping over from the north.”
14 The Lord said to me, “Disaster will ·come [let loose; open up] from the north and strike all the people who live in this country [C the Babylonians would attack from the north]. 15 In a short time I will call all of the ·people [clans] in the northern kingdoms,” said the Lord.
“Those kings will come and set up their thrones
near the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem.
They will attack all the city walls around Jerusalem
and all the cities in Judah.
16 And I will announce my judgments against my people
because of their evil in ·turning away from [abandoning; forsaking] me.
They ·offered sacrifices [or burned incense] to other gods
and ·worshiped [bowed down to] ·idols they had made with [L the works of] their own hands.
Jeremiah 1:13-16
New American Standard Bible
13 And the word of the Lord 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 the Lord said to me, “(C)Out of the north the evil [a]will be unleashed on all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For, behold, I am calling (D)all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” declares the Lord; “and they will come and (E)place, each one of them, his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls around, and against all the (F)cities of Judah. 16 And I will [b]pronounce My judgments against them concerning all their wickedness, since they have (G)abandoned Me and have [c](H)offered sacrifices to other gods, and worshiped the (I)works of their own hands.
