Contextual Overview

¹¹ The Lord 's message came to me: "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I answered, "I see a stick made from almond wood." ¹² The Lord said to me, "You have seen very well, and I am watching to make sure that my message to you comes true." ¹³ The Lord 's message came to me again: "Jeremiah, what do you see?" I answered, "I see a pot of boiling water. That pot is tipping over from the north." ¹⁴ The Lord said to me, "Something terrible will come from the north. It will happen to all the people who live in this country. ¹⁵ In a short time I will call all the people in the northern kingdoms." This is what the Lord said. "The kings of those countries will come and set up their thrones near the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack the city walls of Jerusalem. They will attack all the cities in Judah. ¹⁶ And I will announce judgment against my people, because they are evil and have turned away from me. They offered sacrifices to other gods and worshiped idols they made with their own hands. ¹⁷ "As for you, Jeremiah, get ready. Stand up and speak to the people. Tell them everything that I tell you to say. Don't be afraid of the people. If you are afraid of them, I will give you good reason to be afraid of them. ¹⁸ As for me, today I will make you like a strong city, an iron column, a bronze wall. You will be able to stand against everyone in the land, against the kings of the land of Judah, the leaders of Judah, the priests of Judah, and against the people of the land of Judah. ¹⁹ All those people will fight against you, but they will not defeat you, because I am with you, and I will save you." This message is from the Lord .
