Jeremiah 1:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”^{[a] 12} Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching^[b] over my word to perform it.” ¹³ The word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, tilted away from the north.”
