Jeremiah 18:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

⁶ Cannot I do with you, as this potter, O house of Israel, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

⁷ I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it.
