1 The Word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 Arise and go down to the potters house, and there I will cause you to hear My Words.
3 Then I went down to the potters house, and, behold, he was fashioning an object on the wheel.
4 And the vessel that he made of clay was ruined in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the Word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay is in the potters hands, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.
