@ The
word
which came to
Jeremiah
from the
LORD
,
saying
,
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:2
@
Arise
, and go
down
to the
potters
house
, and there I will cause thee to
hear
my
words
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:3
@ Then I went
down
to the
potters
house
, and,
behold
, he
wrought
a
work
on the
wheels
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:4
@ 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.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:5
@ Then the
word
of the
LORD
came to me,
saying
,
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:6
@ O
house
of
Israel
,
cannot
I
do
with you as this
potter
?
saith
the
LORD
. Behold, as the
clay
is in the
potters
hand
, so are ye in mine
hand
, O
house
of
Israel
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:7
@ At what
instant
I shall
speak
concerning a
nation
, and concerning a
kingdom
, to pluck
up
, and to pull
down
, and to
destroy
it;
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:8
@ 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.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:9
@ And at what
instant
I shall
speak
concerning a
nation
, and concerning a
kingdom
, to
build
and to
plant
it;
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:10
@ 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.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:11
@ Now therefore go to,
speak
to the
men
of
Judah
, and to the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem
,
saying
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
; Behold, I
frame
evil
against you, and
devise
a
device
against you:
return
ye now every
one
from his
evil
way
, and make your
ways
and your
doings
good
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:12
@ And they
said
, There is no
hope
: but we will
walk
after
our own
devices
, and we will every
one
do
the
imagination
of his
evil
heart
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:13
@ Therefore thus
saith
the
LORD
;
Ask
ye now among the
heathen
, who hath
heard
such things: the
virgin
of
Israel
hath
done
a
very
horrible
thing
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:14
@ Will a man
leave
the
snow
of
Lebanon
which cometh from the
rock
of the
field
? or shall the
cold
flowing
waters
that come from another
place
be
forsaken
?
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:15
@ Because my
people
hath
forgotten
me, they have burned
incense
to
vanity
, and they have caused them to
stumble
in their
ways
from the
ancient
paths
, to
walk
in
paths
, in a
way
not cast
up
;
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:16
@ To
make
their
land
desolate
, and a
perpetual
hissing
sh@
; every one that
passeth
thereby shall be
astonished
, and
wag
his
head
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:17
@ I will
scatter
them as with an
east
wind
before
the
enemy
; I will
shew
them the
back
, and not the
face
, in the
day
of their
calamity

strkjv@Jeremiah:18:18
@ Then
said
they,

devise
devices

Jeremiah

law
shall not
perish
from the
priest
, nor
counsel

wise
, nor the
word

tongue

heed
to any of his
words

strkjv@Jeremiah:18:19
@ Give
heed
to me, O
LORD

hearken
to the
voice

contend
with me.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:20
@ Shall
evil
be
recompensed
for
good
? for they have
digged
a
pit
for my
soul
.
Remember
that I
stood
before
thee to
speak
good
for them, and to turn
away
thy
wrath
from them.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:21
@ Therefore deliver
up
their
children
to the
famine
, and pour
out
their blood by the
force
of the
sword
; and let their
wives
be
bereaved
of their children, and be
widows
; and let their
men
be
put
to
death
; let their young
men
be
slain
by the
sword
in
battle
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:22
@ Let a
cry
be
heard
from their
houses
, when thou shalt
bring
a
troop
suddenly
upon them: for they have
digged
a
pit
to
take
me, and
hid
snares
for my
feet
.
strkjv@Jeremiah:18:23
@ Yet,
LORD
, thou
knowest
all their
counsel
against me to
slay
me:
forgive
not their
iniquity
, neither blot
out
their
sin
from thy
sight
, but let them be
overthrown
before
thee;
deal
thus with them in the
time
of thine
anger

strkjv@Jeremiah:19:1
@ Thus
saith
the
LORD

forth
unto the

saith

God

; Behold, I will
bring
evil
upon this

heareth

shall
tingle

estranged

incense
in it unto
other
gods

have
known

kings

fire

offerings
unto
Baal

not, nor
spake
it, neither

come

saith

Tophet

slaughter

strkjv@Jeremiah:19:7
@ And I will make
void

counsel

fall
by the
sword
before
their
enemies

seek
their
lives

give

astonished
