Jeremiah 18:1-10

1The wordH1697 which came to JeremiahH3414 from YhwhH3068, sayingH559,

2AriseH6965, and go downH3381 to the potter’sH3335 houseH1004, and there I will cause thee to hearH8085 my wordsH1697.

3Then I went downH3381 to the potter’sH3335 houseH1004, and, beholdH2009, he wroughtH6213 a workH4399 on the wheelsH70.1

4And the vesselH3627 that he madeH6213 of clayH2563 was marredH7843 in the handH3027 of the potterH3335: so he madeH6213 it againH7725 anotherH312 vesselH3627, as seemedH5869 goodH3474 to the potterH3335 to makeH6213 it.23

5Then the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068 came to me, sayingH559,

6O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, cannotH3201 I doH6213 with you as this potterH3335? saithH5002 YhwhH3068. Behold, as the clayH2563 is in the potter’sH3335 handH3027, so are ye in mine handH3027, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

7At what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluck upH5428, and to pull downH5422, and to destroyH6 it;

8If that nationH1471, against whom I have pronouncedH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.

9And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;

10If it doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefitH3190 them.
