1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,2 Arise, and go down to the potterâs house, and there I will cause you to hear my words.3 Then I went down to the potterâs house, and, behold, he worked a work on the wheels.4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? says the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potterâs hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
