Jeremiah 1:13-15

13 The word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see ^aa boiling pot, facing away ^bfrom the north.” 14 Then the Lord said to me, ^c“Out of the north disaster ^{▼▼The Hebrew word can mean evil, harm, or disaster, depending on the context; so throughout Jeremiah} shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For behold, ^eI am calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, declares the Lord, ^fand they shall come, and every one shall set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah.

Joel 2:20

20 “I will remove the northerner far from you,
and drive him into a parched and desolate land,
his vanguard ^{▼▼Hebrew face} into ^hthe eastern sea,
and his rear guard ^{▼▼Hebrew his end} into ^jthe western sea;
^kthe stench and foul smell of him will rise,
for he has done great things.
