seething

In Jewish tradition

Boiling and bubbling. Job pictures it as a pot steaming, and Jeremiah sees a seething pot tipped from the north.

Interpretation. Jeremiah's vision is read as a sign of an enemy invasion coming from the north against Judah. In the primary lessons: in the tales, a creek or pot full of moving creatures or boiling liquid; a character who is angry but holds it back
