Under the type of a potter is shewed God's absolute power in disposing of nations.1 ¶ The wordº which² came² to² Jeremiahº from²² the LORD,º saying,ºª 2 Arise,ºª and go downºª to the potter'sºª house,º and there² I will cause thee to hearºª² my words.º 3 Then I went downºª to the potter'sºª house,º and, behold,º he wroughtºª a workº on² the wheels.º 4 And the vesselº that² he² madeºª of clayº was marredºª in the handº of the potter:ºª so he madeºª it againºª anotherº vessel,º as² seemedº goodºª to the potterºª to makeºª [it]. 5 Then the wordº of the LORDº came² to² me, saying,ºª 6 O houseº of Israel,º cannotºª² I doºª with you as this² potter?ºª saithºª the LORD.º Behold,² as the clayº [is] in the potter'sºª hand,º so² [are] ye² in mine hand,º O houseº of Israel.º 7 [At what] instantº I shall speakºª concerning² a nation,º and concerning² a kingdom,º to pluck up,ºª and to pull down,ºª and to destroyºª [it]; 8 If that² nation,º against² whom² I have pronounced,ºª turnºª from their evil,º² I will repentºª of² the evilº that² I thoughtºª to doºª unto them. 9 And [at what] instantº I shall speakºª concerning² a nation,º and concerning² a kingdom,º to buildºª and to plantºª [it]; 10 If it doºª evilº in my sight,º that it obeyºª not² my voice,º then I will repentºª of² the good,º wherewith² I saidºª I would benefitºª them.
