Jeremiah 18:2-12

2AriseH6965, and goH3381 downH3381 to the potter’sH3335 houseH1004, and there I will causeH1697 thee to hearH8085 my wordsH1697.

3Then I wentH3381 downH3381 to the potter’sH3335 houseH1004, and, beholdH2009, he wrought his workH4399 on the wheels.

4And when the vesselH3627 that he madeH6213 of the clay was marred in the handH3027 of the potterH3335, he madeH6213 it againH7725 anotherH312 vesselH3627, as seemedH5869 goodH3474 to the potterH3335 to makeH6213 it.

5Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to meH413, sayingH559,

6O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, cannotH3808 I doH6213 with youH859 as this potterH3335? saith the LORDH3068. BeholdH2009, as the clay in the potter’sH3335 handH3027, soH3651 are ye in mine handH3027, O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478.

7At whatH5921 instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to pluckH5428 upH5921 and to breakH5422 downH5422 and to destroyH6 it;

8ifH834 that nationH1471, concerning whichH834 I have spokenH1696, turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH7725 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 unto them.

9And at whatH5921 instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it;

10ifH834 it doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 notH1115 my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, wherewith I saidH559 I would benefitH2896 them.

11NowH6258 therefore goH7725 to, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: BeholdH2009, I frame evilH7451 againstH5921 youH5921, and deviseH2803 a device againstH5921 youH5921: returnH7725 ye nowH6258 everyH376 one from his evilH7451 wayH1870, and amendH3190 your waysH1870 and your doingsH4611.

12But they sayH559, There is no hope: for weH3588 will walk afterH310 our ownH376 devices, and weH3588 will doH6213 everyH376 one afterH310 the stubbornnessH8307 of his evilH7451 heartH3820.
