Jeremiah 18:1-6

Complete Jewish Bible

18 This word came to Yirmeyahu from Adonai: ² “Get up, and go down to the potter’s house; there I will tell you more.” ³ So I went down to the house of the potter; and there he was, working at the wheels. ⁴ Whenever a pot he made came out imperfect, the potter took the clay and made another pot with it, in whatever shape suited him.

⁵ Then the word of Adonai came to me: ⁶ “House of Isra’el, can’t I deal with you as the potter deals with his clay? — says Adonai. Look! You, house of Isra’el, are the same in my hand as the clay in the potter’s hand.
