Jeremiah 1:12-14
Living Bible
12 And the Lord replied, “That’s right, and it means that I will surely carry out my threats of punishment.”[a]
13 Then the Lord asked me, “What do you see now?”
And I replied, “I see a pot of boiling water, tipping southward, spilling over Judah.”[b]
14 “Yes,” he said, “for terror from the north will boil out upon all the people of this land.
