Vers. 13. And the word of the Lord came again unto me the second time, saying: What seest thou? And I said, I see a seething pot, looking out of the North. 14 Then said the Lord unto me: Out of the North shall a plague be spread upon all the inhabitants of the land.

Now Jeremiah begins to direct his speech to the Jews,1 to whom he was ordained a Prophet. For hitherto he hath disputed as touching his vocation, that he might establish the authority of his doctrine; so that hitherto he hath spoken generally: but now he applies his doctrine to the people in particular.

Neither are we to doubt, but of set purpose the Prophet useth this manner of speech, as if God himself being there present, showed, that himself was the author of this prophecy.
