Jeremiah 18:5-15

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. 11So nowH6258 then, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063 and againstH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389 sayingH559, ‘ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2009, I am 11fashioningH3335 calamityH7463 againstH5921 you and devisingH2803 a planH4284 againstH5921 you. OhH4994 12turnH7725 backH7725, eachH376 of you from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and 13reformH3190 your waysH1870 and your deedsH4611.”’ 12But 14they will sayH559, ‘It’s hopelessH2976! For we are goingH1980 to followH310H1980 our own plansH4284, and eachH376 of us will actH6213 according to the 15stubbornnessH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.’

13“ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘16AskH7592 nowH4994 among the nationsH1471, WhoH4310 ever heardH8085 the like of 17thisH428? The 18virginH1330 of IsraelH3478 Has doneH6213 a mostH3966 19appallingH8186 thingH8186.14Does the snowH7950 of LebanonH3844 forsakeH5800 the rockH6697 of the open countryH7706? OrH518 is the coldH7119 flowingH5140 waterH4325 from a foreignH2114 land ever snatchedH5428 awayH5428?15For 20My peopleH5971 have forgottenH7911 Me, 21They burnH6999 incenseH6999 22to worthlessH7723 gods And they 23have stumbledH3782 24from their waysH1870, 25From the 26ancientH5769 pathsH7635, To walkH1980 in bypathsH5410, Not on a 27highwayH1870H5549,
