Bible verse
“You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”
Jeremiah 1:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Jeremiah 1.
8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD.
9 Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth.
10 See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”
11 And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” “I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
12 “You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”
13 Again 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.”
14 Then the LORD said to me, “Disaster from the north will be poured out on all who live in the land.
15 For I am about to summon all the clans and kingdoms of the north,” declares the LORD. “Their kings will come and set up their thrones at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all her surrounding walls and all the other cities of Judah.
16 I 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.
