Names of God Bible
12 Then Yahweh said to me, “Right. I am watching to make sure that my words come true.”[a]
13 Again Yahweh spoke his word to me and asked, “What do you see?”
I answered, “I see a boiling pot, and its top is tilted away from the north.”
14 Then Yahweh said to me,
“Disaster will be poured out from the north
on all those who live in the land.
