13 Again the word of the Lord came to me inquiring, “What do you see?”

And I replied, “I see a boiling pot,(A) its lip tilted from the north to the south.”

14 Then the Lord said to me, “Disaster will be poured out[a] from the north(B) on all who live in the land. 15 Indeed, I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north.”(C)

This is the Lord’s declaration.

They will come, and each king will set up his throne
at the entrance to Jerusalem’s gates.
They will attack all her surrounding walls
and all the other cities of Judah.

16 “I will pronounce My judgments against them for all the evil they did when they abandoned Me to burn incense to other gods and to worship the works of their own hands.(D)

  1. Jeremiah 1:14 LXX reads will boil

13 This message from the Lord came to me a second time: “What do you see?”

I replied, “I see a boiling pot, and its mouth is tilted away from the north.”

14 Then the Lord told me, “From the north disaster will pour out on all who live in the land, 15 because I’m about to summon all the families and kingdoms from the north,” declares the Lord.

“They’ll come and each one will set up his seat[a]
    at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,
against all of its surrounding walls,
    and against all of the towns of Judah.
16 “I’ll pronounce my judgments against them
    because of all their wickedness.
They have forsaken me,
    they have burned incense to other gods,
and they have bowed down in worship
    to the works of their own[b] hands.”[c]
