Jeremiah 18:2–6

2Rise, and thou hast gone down to the potter’s house, and there I cause thee to hear My words; 3and I go down to the potter’s house, and lo, he is doing a work on the stones, 4and marred is the vessel that he is making, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he hath turned and he maketh it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make. 5And there is a word of Jehovah to me, saying: 6As this potter am I not able to do to you? O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah. Lo, as clay in the hand of the potter, So are ye in My hand, O house of Israel.
