18 Yahweh’s message came to Yirmeyah (Jeremiah) to say, 2 “Get ready and go down to the potter’s house, and I’ll give you my messages there.”
3 So I went down to pottery factory, and wow, he was on his potter’s wheel. 4 However, the container that he was making with his hand on the clay was ruined, so he started again and make it into another container that he was pleased with.
5 Then Yahweh gave me this message: 6 Like that potter, shouldn’t I be able to do what I want with you Israelis? Yahweh declares that you Israelis are in my hand like that clay in the potter’s hand. 7 One time, I might declare to a nation or a kingdom that it will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed. 8 and later on, that nation that I spoke to might turn away from its evil, and then I’ll cancel the destruction that I’d planned for them. 9 Another time, I might declare that a nation or kingdom will be established, or strengthened, 10 however if I see it doing evil and not listening to my voice, then I’ll cancel the good that I’d said I’d do to it. 11 So now, speak to the people of Yehudah including Yerushalem’s residents and tell them that Yahweh says, “Listen, I’m about to devise a plan against you all and prepare calamity for you. Each of you needs to turn back from their evil activities and improve your behaviour and your activities.” 12 However, they’ll say, “Don’t waste your time because we’ll continue with our plans, and each of us will do whatever wicked things that we want!”
13 Because of that, Yahweh says this:
Ask the nations if they’ve ever heard anything like this?
The virgin Yisrael (Israel) has done something extremely horrible.
14 Does the snow in Lebanon ever disappear off its rocky slopes?
Do the cool waters stop flowing?
15 Yet my people have forgotten me.
They offer incense to useless idols
that have made them stumble on the ancient paths
that haven’t had any maintenance.
16 Their land will become a wasteland—forever mocked at.
Everyone who passes by will be appalled
and will wag their heads.
17 I’ll scatter them before their enemies like the east wind from the desert does.
I won’t look at them but will turn my back when their disaster comes.
The people
Come on, let’s decide what to do about Yirmeyah,
because we have plenty of instructions from the priests,
advice from the wise men,
and messages from the prophets.
Yirmeyah
19 Yahweh, pay attention to me
and listen to the what my enemies are saying.
20 Should good be repaid with evil,
because they’re digging a pit for me?
Remember how I stood in front of you to tell you their good points—
to turn back your rage from them.
21 Therefore, hand their children over to famine,
and send war to punish them.
Let their wives be childless and become widowed,
and let their husbands die from disease—
their young men killed in battle.
22 Let a cry of distress be heard from their houses
when you send raiders to surprise them,
because they’ve dug a pit to capture me in
and have hidden traps for me to step into.
23 But you, Yahweh, know all their deadly plots against me.
Don’t forgive their wickedness.
Don’t erase their disobedience from your sight.
Let them be overthrown as you watch
