Jeremiah 1:14-16

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴ Then the Lord said to me, “Out of the north evil shall break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. ¹⁵ For lo, I am calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord; and they shall come and every one shall set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls round about, and against all the cities of Judah. ¹⁶ And I will utter my judgments against them, for all their wickedness in forsaking me; they have burned incense to other gods, and worshiped the works of their own hands.
