Jeremiah 18:5-15

5Then the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to me, sayingH559, 6O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, cannot I do with you as this potterH3335? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter’sH3335 handH3027, soH3651 are ye in my handH3027, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478. 7At what instant I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluckH5428 up and to breakH5422 downH5422 and to destroyH6 it; 8if that nationH1471, concerning which I have spokenH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repent of the evilH7451 that I thought to do unto them. 9And at what instant I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it; 10if they do that which is evilH7451 in my sight, that they obey not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefit them. 11NowH6258 thereforeH6258, speak to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Behold, I frame evilH7451 against you, and devise a device against you: returnH7725 ye nowH6258 every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and amend your waysH1870 and your doings. 12But they sayH559, It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do every oneH376 after the stubbornnessH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.

13ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah: AskH7592 ye now among the nationsH1471, who hath heardH8085 such thingsH428; the virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 hath done a veryH3966 horrible thing. 14Shall the snowH7950 of LebanonH3844 fail from the rockH6697 of the fieldH7704? or shall the cold watersH4325 that flowH5140 down from afar be dried up? 15For my peopleH5971 have forgottenH7911 me, they have burned incenseH6999 to false gods; and they have been made to stumbleH3782 in their waysH1870, in the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, in a wayH1870 not cast up;
