Jeremiah 1 — Context

10

Know for certain that I hereby give you the authority to announce to nations and kingdoms that they will be uprooted and torn down, destroyed and demolished, rebuilt and firmly planted.”

11

Visions Confirming Jeremiah’s Call and Commission Later the LORD’s message came to me,“What do you see, Jeremiah?” I answered,“I see a branch of an almond tree.”

12

Then the LORD said,“You have observed correctly. This means I am watching to make sure my threats are carried out.”

13

The LORD’s message came to me a second time,“What do you see?” I answered,“I see a pot of boiling water; it is tipped away from the north.”

14

Then the LORD said,“From the north destruction will break out on all who live in the land.

15

For I will soon summon all the peoples of the kingdoms of the north,” says the LORD.“They will come and their kings will set up their thrones near the entrances of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all the walls surrounding it, and all the towns in Judah.

16

In this way I will pass sentence on the people of Jerusalem and Judah because of all their wickedness. For they rejected me and offered sacrifices to other gods, worshiping what they made with their own hands.”
