Jeremiah 18:7

7 Suddenly I shall speak against a folk, and against a realm, that I draw (it) out, and destroy (it), and lose it.

Jeremiah 18:7 In-Context

5 And the word of the Lord was made to me, and he said,
6 Whether as this potter doeth, I may not do to you, the house of Israel? saith the Lord. Lo! as clay is in the hand of a potter, so ye, the house of Israel, be in mine hand (Lo! like clay is in a potter's hands, so ye, the house of Israel, be in my hands).
7 Suddenly I shall speak against a folk, and against a realm, that I draw (it) out, and destroy (it), and lose it.
8 If that folk doeth penance of his evil, which I spake against it, also I shall do penance on the evil, which I thought to do to it. (But if that nation doeth penance for their evil, for which I spoke against them, then I shall do penance for the evil, which I thought to do to them.)
9 And I shall speak suddenly of a folk, and of a realm, that I build, and plant it. (And at any moment I shall speak of a nation, or of a kingdom, that I build it, or that I plant it.)
