Jeremiah 18:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Then this message from the Lord came to me: ⁶ “Israel, can’t I deal with you like this potter?” declares the Lord. “Look, Israel, like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand. ⁷ At one moment I may speak about a nation or a kingdom to uproot it, pull it down, or destroy it.
