Jeremiah 18:5-11
English Standard Version
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 6 “O house of Israel, (A)can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares the Lord. (B)Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will (C)pluck up and break down and destroy it, 8 and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, (D)turns from its evil, (E)I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it. 9 And if at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will (F)build and plant it, 10 and if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will relent of the good that I had intended to do to it. 11 Now, therefore, say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: ‘Thus says the Lord, Behold, I am shaping disaster against you and devising a plan against you. (G)Return, every one from his evil way, and (H)amend your ways and your deeds.’
