Verse Numbers
1
The LORD gave another message to Jeremiah. He said,
2
“Go down to the potter’s shop, and I will speak to you there.”
3
So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel.
4
But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over.
5
Then the LORD gave me this message:
6
“O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay? As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand.
7
If I announce that a certain nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed,
8
but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned.
9
And if I announce that I will plant and build up a certain nation or kingdom,
10
but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey me, I will not bless it as I said I would.
