Jeremiah 18:1-10 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
1
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:
2
"Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words."
3
So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel.
4
And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.
5
Then the word of the LORD came to me:
6
"O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter has done? says the LORD. Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
7
If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it,
8
and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will repent of the evil that I intended to do to it.
9
And if at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it,
10
and if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will repent of the good which I had intended to do to it.
