Jeremiah 18:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does? says the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

⁷ At one time I will suddenly speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it;

⁸ And if [the people of] that nation concerning which I have spoken turn from their evil, I will relent and reverse My decision concerning the evil that I thought to do to them.
