*
The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh ,
saying ,
*
Arise ,
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 ,
look ,
he was making a work on the wheels .
*
And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter ,
he made it again another vessel ,
as seemed good to the potter to make it .
*
Then the word of Yahweh came to me ,
saying ,
*
O house of Israel ,
can '
t I do with you (
note :){+}(:
note )
as this potter ?
says Yahweh .
Look ,
as the clay in the potter '
s hand ,
so are you {+}
in my hand ,
O house of Israel .
*
At what instant I will speak concerning a nation ,
and concerning a kingdom ,
to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it ;
*
if that nation ,
concerning which I have spoken ,
turns from their evil ,
I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them .
*
And at what instant I will speak concerning a nation ,
and concerning a kingdom ,
to build and to plant it ;
*
if they do that which is evil in my sight ,
that they do not obey my voice ,
then I will repent of the good ,
with which I said I would benefit them .
*
Now therefore ,
speak to the men of Judah ,
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
saying ,
Thus says Yahweh :
Look ,
I frame evil against you (
note :){+}(:
note ),
and devise a device against you {+}:
return {+}
now every one from his evil way ,
and amend your {+}
ways and your {+}
doings .
*
But they say ,
It is in vain ;
for we will walk after our own devices ,
and we will do every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart .
*
Therefore thus says Yahweh :
Ask (
note :){+}(:
note )
now among the nations ,
who has heard such things ;
the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing .
*
Will the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of Shaddai ? [
Or ]
will the cold waters that flow down from far away be dried up ?
*
For my people have forgotten me ,
they have burned incense to false [
gods ];
and they made them stumble in their ways ,
in the ancient paths ,
to walk in bypaths ,
in a way not cast up ;
*
to make their land an astonishment ,
and a perpetual hissing ;
everyone who passes by it will be astonished ,
and shake his head .
*
I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy ;
I will see them with the back ,
and not the face ,
in the day of their calamity .
*
Then they said ,
Come ,
and let us devise devices against Jeremiah ;
for the law will not perish from the priest ,
nor counsel from the wise ,
nor the word from the prophet .
Come ,
and let us strike him with the tongue ,
and let us not give heed to any of his words .
*
Give heed to me ,
O Yahweh ,
and listen to the voice of those who contend with me .
