11. The Lord showed me something in a vision. Then he asked, “What do you see, Jeremiah?”I answered, “A branch of almonds that ripen early.”
12. “That's right,” the Lord replied, “and I always rise early to keep a promise.”
13. Then the Lord showed me something else and asked, “What do you see now?”I answered, “I see a pot of boiling water in the north, and it's about to spill out towards us.”
14. The Lord said:I will pour out destructionall over the land.
