The word
which
came
to Jeremiah
from the LORD
saying,
2
"Arise
and go down
to the potter's
house,
and there
I will announce
My words
to you."
3
Then I went down
to the potter's
house,
and there
he was, making
something
on the wheel.
4
But the vessel
that he was making
of clay
was spoiled
in the hand
of
the potter
;
so he remade
it into another
vessel,
as it pleased
the potter
to make.
5
Then the word
of the LORD
came
to me saying,
6
"Can
I not,
O house
of Israel,
deal
with you as this
potter
does?" declares
the LORD.
"Behold,
like the clay
in the
potter
's
hand,
so
are you in My
hand,
O house
of Israel.
7
"At one moment
I might speak
concerning
a nation
or
concerning
a kingdom
to uproot,
to pull down,
or to destroy
it;
8
if that nation
against
which
I have spoken
turns
from its evil,
I will relent
concerning
the calamity
I planned
to bring
on it.
9
"Or at another moment
I might speak
concerning
a nation
or
concerning
a kingdom
to build
up or to plant
it;
10
if it does
evil
in My sight
by not obeying
My voice,
then I will think better
of the good
with which
I had promised
to bless
it.
11
"So now
then, speak
to the men
of Judah
and
against
the inhabitants
of Jerusalem
saying,
'Thus
says
the LORD,
"Behold,
I am fashioning
calamity
against
you and devising
a plan
against
you. Oh
turn back,
each
of you from his evil
way,
and reform
your ways
and your deeds."'
12
"But they will say,
'It's hopeless!
For we are going
to follow
our own plans,
and each
of us will act
according to the stubbornness
of his evil
heart.'
13
"Therefore
thus
says
the LORD,
'
Ask
now
among the nations,
Who
ever heard
the like of this?
The virgin
of Israel
Has done
a most
appalling thing.
14
Does the snow
of Lebanon
forsake
the rock
of the open country?
Or
is the cold
flowing
water
from a foreign
land ever snatched away?
15
'
For My people
have forgotten
Me, They burn incense
to worthless
gods And they have stumbled
from their ways,
From the ancient
paths,
To walk
in by
paths,
Not on a highway,
16
To make
their land
a desolation,
An object of perpetual
hissing;
Everyone
who passes
by it will be astonished
And shake
his head.
17
Like an east
wind
I will scatter
them Before
the enemy;
I will show
them My back
and not My face
In the day
of their calamity.'"
18
Then they said,
"
Come
and let us devise
plans
against
Jeremiah.
Surely
the law
is
no
t going to be lost
to the priest,
no
r
counsel
to the sage,
no
r
the divine word
to the prophet!
Come
on and let us strike
at him with our tongue,
and let us give
no
heed
to any
of his words."
19
Do give heed
to me, O LORD,
And listen
to what
my opponents
are saying!
20
Should
good
be repaid
with evil?
For they have dug
a pit
for me. Remember
how I stood
before
You To speak
good
on their behalf,
So as to turn away
Your wrath
from them.
21
Therefore,
give
their children
over to famine
And deliver
them up to the power
of the sword;
And let their wives
become
childless
and widowed.
Let their men
also be smitten
to death,
Their young men
struck down
by the sword
in battle.
22
May an outcry
be heard
from their houses,
When
You suddenly
bring
raiders
upon them; For they have dug
a pit
to capture
me And hidden
snares
for my feet.
23
Yet You, O LORD,
know
All
their deadly
designs
against
me; Do not forgive
their iniquity
Or blot
out their sin
from Your sight.
But may they be overthrown
before
You; Deal
with them in the time
of Your anger!
