13Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, "What do you see?" "I see a boiling pot," I replied, "and it is tilting toward us from the north."

16I will pronounce My judgments against them for all their wickedness, because they have forsaken Me to burn incense to other gods and to worship the works of their own hands.
“I will utter my judgments against them, concerning all their wickedness, because they have forsaken me, burned incense to other gods, and worship the works of their own hands.”
