Jeremiah 1:12-14

New Living Translation

¹²And the Lord said, “That’s right, and it means that I am watching,^[a] and I will certainly carry out all my plans.”

¹³Then the Lord spoke to me again and asked, “What do you see now?”

And I replied, “I see a pot of boiling water, spilling from the north.”

¹⁴“Yes,” the Lord said, “for terror from the north will boil out on the people of this land.

1:12 The Hebrew word for “watching” (shoqed) sounds like the word for “almond tree” (shaqed).

Jeremiah 1:12-14

¹²The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching^[a]^(A) to see that my word is fulfilled.”

¹³The word of the Lord came to me again: “What do you see?”^(B)

“I see a pot that is boiling,” I answered. “It is tilting toward us from the north.”

¹⁴The Lord said to me, “From the north^(C) disaster will be poured out on all who live in the land.

Jeremiah 1:12 The Hebrew for watching sounds like the Hebrew for almond tree.
