Jeremiah 18:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ And then it does what is evil in my eyes. It does not obey me. Then I will think again about the good things I had wanted to do for it.

¹¹ “So speak to the people of Judah and Jerusalem. Tell them, ‘The Lord says, “Look! I am making plans against you. I am going to bring trouble on you. So each one of you must turn from your evil ways. Change the way you live and act.” ’ ¹² But they will reply, ‘It’s no use. We will continue to do what we’ve already planned. All of us will do what our stubborn and evil hearts want us to do.’ ”
