Seeker Overlay ON
*
The word which was to from Jehovah ,
saying ,
*
Rise up and go down to the potter '
s house ,
and there I will cause you to hear My words .
*
Then I went down to the potter '
s house ,
and behold ,
he was working a work on the wheel .
*
And the vessel that he made in clay was ruined in the hand of the potter .
So repeating he made it ,
another vessel ,
as it seemed good in the potter '
s eyes to make it .
*
And the word of Jehovah was to me ,
saying ,
*
O house of Israel ,
can I not do to you as this potter ?
says Jehovah Behold ,
as the clay in the potter '
s hand ,
so are you in My hand ,
O house of Israel .
*
The instant I speak concerning a nation ,
and concerning a kingdom ,
to pluck up ,
or to break down ,
or to destroy ;
*
if that nation against whom I have spoken will turn from their evil ,
I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to it .
*
And the instant I speak concerning a nation ,
and concerning a kingdom ,
to build and to plant it ;
*
if it does evil in My eye ,
not to obey My voice ,
then I will repent of the good which I had said to do good to it .
*
Now then ,
please speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
saying ,
So says Jehovah ,
Behold ,
I am forming evil against you ,
and devising a plan against you .
Now each one turn from his evil way ,
and make your ways and your doings good .
*
And they say ,
It is hopeless .
For we will walk after our own thoughts ,
and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart .
*
So Jehovah says this :
Ask now among the nations ,
Who has heard things like these ?
The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing .
*
Does the snow of Lebanon cease from the rock of the field ?
Or are the cold flowing waters that come from another place uprooted ?
*
But My people have forgotten Me .
They have burned incense to vain idols ;
and they have caused them to stumble in their ways ,
from the old paths ,
to walk in bypaths ,
not on the highway ;
*
to make their land a desolation ,
a hissing forever .
Everyone who passes by will be amazed and will shake his head .
*
I will scatter them like an east wind before the enemy ;
I will show them the back ,
and not the face in the day of their calamity .
*
Then they said ,
Come and let us plot schemes against Jeremiah .
For the law shall not perish from the priest ,
nor counsel from the wise ,
nor word from the prophet .
Come and let us strike him with the tongue ,
and let us not listen to any of his words .
*
O Jehovah ,
pay attention to me ,
and pay attention to the voice of my foes .
