Jeremiah 18:5 In-Context

3 I went to the potter's house, and he was working there at his wheel.
4 Whenever a clay pot he was working on was ruined, he would rework it into a new clay pot the way he wanted to make it.
5 The LORD spoke his word to me. The LORD asked,
6 "Nation of Israel, can't I do with you as this potter does with clay? Nation of Israel, you are like the clay in the potter's hands.
7 "At one time I may threaten to tear up, break down, and destroy a nation or a kingdom.
