Jeremiah 1:12 CPDV

¹⁰  Behold, today I have appointed you over nations and over kingdoms, so that you may root up, and pull down, and destroy, and scatter, and so that you may build and plant.'

¹¹  And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 'What do you see, Jeremiah?' And I said, 'I see a staff, keeping watch.'

¹²  And the Lord said to me: 'You have seen well. For I will keep watch over my word, so that I may accomplish it.'

¹³  And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, 'What do you see?' And I said, 'I see a cooking pot upon a fire, and its face is before the face of the north.'

¹⁴  And the Lord said to me: 'From the north, an evil will spread over all the inhabitants of the earth.
