Jeremiah 18:5-10
5Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me sayingH559,
6“CanH3201 I not, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, dealH6213 with you as thisH2088 potterH3335 does?” declaresH5002 the LordH3068. “BeholdH2009, like the 1clayH2563 in the potter’sH3335 handH3027, soH3651 are you in My handH3027, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.
7At one momentH7281 I might speakH1696 concerningH5921 a nationH1471 or concerningH5921 a kingdomH4467 to 2uprootH5428, to pullH5422 downH5422, or to destroyH6 it;
83if that nationH1471 againstH5921 whichH834 I have spokenH1696 turnsH7725 from its evilH7463, I will 45relentH5162 concerningH5921 the calamityH7463 I plannedH2803 to bringH6213 on it.
9Or at another momentH7281 I might speakH1696 concerningH5921 a nationH1471 or concerningH5921 a kingdomH4467 to 6buildH1129 up or to plantH5193 it;
10if it doesH6213 7evilH7451 in My sightH5869 by not obeyingH8085 My voiceH6963, then I will 89thinkH5162 betterH5162 of the goodH2899 with whichH834 I had promisedH559 to 10blessH3190 it.
