Two Visions

11 The Lord’s message came to me: “Jeremiah, what do you see?”

I answered, “I see a stick made from almond wood.”

12 The Lord said to me, “You have seen very well, and I am watching[a] to make sure that my message to you comes true.”

13 The Lord’s message came to me again: “Jeremiah, what do you see?”

I answered, “I see a pot of boiling water. That pot is tipping over from the north.”
