“For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says Yahweh.“They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.”
Jeremiah 1:15 (WEB)
Context Reading
13Yahweh’s word came to me the second time, saying, “What do you see?” I said, “I see a boiling cauldron; and it is tipping away from the north.” 14Then Yahweh said to me, “Out of the north, evil will break out on all the inhabitants of the land. 15For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north,” says Yahweh.“They will come, and they will each set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem,and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah. 16I will utter my judgments against them concerning all their wickedness,in that they have forsaken me,and have burned incense to other gods,and worshiped the works of their own hands. 17“You therefore put your belt on your waist, arise, and say to them all that I command you. Don’t be dismayed at them, lest I dismay you before them.
