Jeremiah 1:12-14
Contemporary English Version
12 “That's right,” the Lord replied, “and I always rise early[a] to keep a promise.”
13 Then the Lord showed me something else and asked, “What do you see now?”
I answered, “I see a pot of boiling water in the north, and it's about to spill out toward us.”
14 The Lord said:
I will pour out destruction
all over the land.
