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 it seemedH5869 goodH3474 to the potterH3335 to makeH6213 it .23 5Then the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to me, sayingH559, 6O houseH1004 of IsraelH3478, cannotH3201 I doH6213 with you as this potterH3335? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Behold, as the clayH2563 is in the potter’sH3335 handH3027, so are ye in my 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 which I have pronouncedH1696, shall turnH7725 from their evilH7451, I will repentH5162 of the evilH7451 that I thoughtH2803 to doH6213 to them. 9And at what instantH7281 I shall speakH1696 concerning a nationH1471, and concerning a kingdomH4467, to buildH1129 and to plantH5193 it ; 10If it shall doH6213 evilH7451 in my sightH5869, that it obeyH8085 not my voiceH6963, then I will repentH5162 of the goodH2896, with which I saidH559 I would benefitH3190 them.

11Now therefore come, speakH559 to the menH376 of JudahH3063, and to the inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Behold, I frameH3335 evilH7451 against you, and deviseH2803 a plotH4284 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.
