Jeremiah 18:5-10

5Then the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to me, sayingH559,

6“AmH3201 I not ableH3201, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, to 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, houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

7At one momentH7281 I might speakH1696 concerningH5921 a nationH1471 or concerningH5921 a kingdomH4467 to 2uprootH5428 it, to tearH5422 it downH5422, or to destroyH6 it;

83if that nationH1471 againstH5921 whichH834 I have spokenH1696 turnsH7725 from its evilH7463, I will 4relentH5162 of the disasterH7463 that I plannedH2803 to bringH6213 on it.

9Or at another momentH7281 I might speakH1696 concerningH5921 a nationH1471 or concerningH5921 a kingdomH4467 to 5buildH1129 upH1129 or to plantH5193 it;

10if it doesH6213 6evilH7451 in My sightH5869 by not obeyingH8085 My voiceH6963, then I will 7relentH5162 of the goodH2899 with whichH834 I saidH559 8that I would blessH3190 it.
