# seething

verb (seethe, seethes, seethed, seething); adjective (seething)

«seething» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## 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
