Jeremiah 18:2-10

1. 2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

2. 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

3. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

4. 5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

5. 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

6. 7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

7. 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

8. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

9. 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
