Jeremiah / Question
Question source
Jeremiah
In Jeremiah’s vision, a boiling pot is "facing away from the north," and God explains that disaster will be poured out from the north on the land (Jeremiah 1:13–14). The image signals an approaching threat coming from the northern direction.
13The word of Yahweh came to me the second time, saying, What see you? I said, I see a boiling caldron; and the face of it is from the north.
14Then Yahweh said to me, Out of the north evil shall break forth on all the inhabitants of the land.
