Jeremiah 1:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ He said to me, “Destruction will boil over from the north on all who live in this land, ¹⁵ because I am calling all the nations in the north to come. Their kings will set up their thrones at the gates of Jerusalem and around its walls and also around the other cities of Judah. ¹⁶ I will punish my people because they have sinned; they have abandoned me, have offered sacrifices to other gods, and have made idols and worshiped them.
