Jeremiah 1:13-14
New English Translation
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.”[a] 14 Then the Lord said, “From the north[b] destruction will break out on all who live in the land.

- Jeremiah 1:13 tn Heb “its face is away from the north.”
- Jeremiah 1:14 sn This works like the sound play in 1:11-12 (see note at 1:12), although the word “north” is repeated with the same meaning both times. The boiling pot is only relevant as a scene that prompts Jeremiah to say “north,” which is the jumping off point for giving the prophecy.
