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

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.
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.”
“But you, Jeremiah, get yourself ready! Go and tell these people everything I instruct you to say. Do not be terrified of them, or I will give you good reason to be terrified of them.
