Jeremias 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 1:13

And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time
In the same vision: saying, what seest thou?
besides the almond tree rod; which perhaps was now removed out of sight, and another object appears: and I said, I see a seething pot;
a pot with fire under it, boiling and bubbling up: and the face thereof was towards the north;
either the mouth of the pot where it boiled up, which might be turned to the north in the vision; or that side of the pot, as Kimchi thinks, on which the liquor was poured out; it may be that side of it on which the fire was put to cause it to boil; and so denotes from what quarter the fire came, and was put under it, and the wind that blew it up. The Targum paraphrases the words thus,

``and I said, I see a king boiling as a pot, and the banner of his army, which was brought and came from the north.''

The explanation follows:

Jeremias 1:13 In-Context

11 E a palavra do SENHOR veio a mim: “O que você vê, Jeremias?” Vejo o ramo de uma amendoeira, respondi.

12 O SENHOR me disse: “Você viu bem, pois estou vigiando para que a minha palavra se cumpra”.

13 A palavra do SENHOR veio a mim pela segunda vez, dizendo: “O que você vê?”E eu respondi: Vejo uma panela fervendo; ela está inclinada do norte para cá.

14 O SENHOR me disse: “Do norte se derramará a desgraça sobre todos os habitantes desta terra.

15 Estou convocando todos os povos dos reinos do norte”, diz o SENHOR.“Cada um virá e colocará o seu tronodiante das portas de Jerusalém,virão contra todas as muralhas que a cercame contra todas as cidades de Judá.
