Jeremiah 18:2-12

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.

11Now therefore go to, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; Behold, I frameH3335 evilH7451 against you, and deviseH2803 a deviceH4284 against you: returnH7725 ye now every oneH376 from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and make your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611 goodH3190. 12And they saidH559, There is no hopeH2976: but we will walkH3212 afterH310 our own devicesH4284, and we will every oneH376 doH6213 the imaginationH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.
