Jeremiah:18:2-10
Seeker Overlay ON
* "
Arise ,
and go down to the potter '
s house ,
and there I will let you hear my words ."
*
So I went down to the potter '
s house ,
and there he was working at his wheel .
*
And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter '
s hand ,
and he reworked it into another vessel ,
as it seemed good to the potter to do .
*
Then the word of the LORD came to me :
* "
O house of Israel ,
can I not do with you as this potter has done ?
says the LORD .
Behold ,
like the clay in the potter '
s hand ,
so are you in my hand ,
O house of Israel .
*
If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom ,
that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it ,
*
and if that nation ,
concerning which I have spoken ,
turns from its evil ,
I will repent of the evil that I intended to do to it .
*
And if at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it ,
*
and if it does evil in my sight ,
not listening to my voice ,
then I will repent of the good which I had intended to do to it .
