1 The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye,2 and seide, Rise thou, and go doun in to the hous of a pottere, and there thou schalt here my wordis.3 And Y yede doun in to the hous of a pottere, and lo! he made a werk on a wheel.4 And the vessel was distried, which he made of clei with hise hondis; and he turnede it, and made it another vessel, as it pleside in hise iyen to make.5 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,6 and he seide, Whether as this pottere doith, Y mai not do to you, the hous of Israel? seith the Lord. Lo! as cley is in the hond of a pottere, so ye, the hous of Israel, ben in myn hond.
