Jeremiah 18:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Then the Lord’s message came to me. ⁶ “People of Israel, I can do with you just as this potter does,” announces the Lord. “The clay is in the potter’s hand. And you are in my hand, people of Israel. ⁷ Suppose I announce that something will happen to a nation or kingdom. Suppose I announce that it will be pulled up by the roots. And I announce that it will be torn down and destroyed.
