Jeremiah 18:7-9

New Century Version

⁷ There may come a time when I will speak about a nation or a kingdom that I will pull up by its roots or that I will pull down to destroy it. ⁸ But if the people of that nation stop doing the evil they have done, I will change my mind and not carry out my plans to bring disaster to them. ⁹ There may come another time when I will speak about a nation that I will build up and plant.
