Jeremiah 18:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁹ And at another moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it,^{(A) 10} but if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will change my mind about the good that I had intended to do to it.^{(B) 11} Now, therefore, say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: Thus says the Lord: Look, I am a potter shaping evil against you and devising a plan against you. Turn now, all of you, from your evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.^(C)
