13The word of Yahweh came to me a second time: “What do you see?” I replied, “I see a boiling pot, tilted away from the north.”

14And Yahweh said to me, “From the north the disaster will break forth against all the inhabitants of the land.”

15“For I am summoning all the clans of the northern kingdoms,” declares Yahweh. “They will come, and each ruler will set his throne at Jerusalem’s gateways. They will take up positions against all its surrounding walls and against all the cities of Judah.”

16“I will pronounce my judgments against the people of Judah for all their evil: they have forsaken me, burned incense to other gods, and bowed down to idols their own hands have made.”
