The Potter and the Clay
18 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,[fn] 2 “Stand up and go down to the house of the potter, and there I will let you hear my words.” 3 So I went down to the house of the potter and look, there he was doing work at the potter’s wheels. 4 And the vessel that he was making with the clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter, so he made again[fn] another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
5 And the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,[fn] 6 “Like this potter, am I not able to do to you, O house of Israel?” declares[fn] Yahweh. “Look, like the clay in the hand of the potter, soare you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 One moment I speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to uproot, and to tear down, and to destroy it.[fn] 8 But if that nation turns back from its evil that I have threatened against it, then I will relent concerning the disaster that I planned to do to it. 9 And the next moment I speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant it.[fn] 10 But if it does evil in my sight, to not listen to my voice, then I will relent concerning the good that I said I would do to it.
11 “So now then, say, please, to the people[fn] of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,saying,[fn] ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Look, Iam preparing evil against you, and I am planning a plan against you. Please turn back, each one from his evil way, and walk rightly in your ways and your deeds.” ’ 12 But they will say, ‘It is hopeless, for we will go after our own plans, and each one of us will act according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.’
