Jeremiah 18
The
word
which
came
to
Jeremiah
from
the
Lord,
saying,
2 Arise,
and
go
down
to
the
a
potter's
house,
and
there
I
will
cause
thee
to
hear
my
words.
3 Then
I
went
down
to
the
potter's
house,
and,
behold,
he
wrought
a
work
on
the
wheels.
4 And
the
vessel
that
he
made
of
clay
was
marred
in
the
hand
of
the
potter:
so
he
made
it
again
another
vessel,
as
seemed
good
to
the
potter
to
make
it.
5 Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
6 O
house
of
Israel,
cannot
I
do
with
you
as
this
a
potter?
saith
the
Lord.
Behold,
as
the
clay
is
in
the
potter's
hand,
so
are
ye
in
mine
hand,
O
house
of
Israel.
7 At
what
instant
I
shall
speak
concerning
a
nation,
and
concerning
a
kingdom,
to
pluck
up,
and
to
a
pull
down,
and
to
destroy
it;
8 If
that
nation,
against
whom
I
have
pronounced,
a
turn
from
their
evil,
I
will
b
repent
of
the
evil
that
I
thought
to
do
unto
them.
9 And
at
what
instant
I
shall
speak
concerning
a
nation,
and
concerning
a
kingdom,
to
build
and
to
plant
it;
10 If
it
do
a
evil
in
my
sight,
that
it
b
obey
not
my
voice,
then
I
will
c
repent
of
the
d
c
good,
wherewith
I
said
I
would
benefit
them.
11 Now
therefore
go
to,
speak
to
the
men
of
Judah,
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
Lord;
Behold,
I
frame
evil
against
you,
and
devise
a
device
against
you:
return
ye
now
every
one
from
his
evil
way,
and
make
your
ways
and
your
doings
good.
12 And
they
said,
There
is
no
a
hope:
but
we
will
b
walk
after
our
own
devices,
and
we
will
every
one
do
the
imagination
of
his
evil
heart.
13 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord;
Ask
ye
now
among
the
heathen,
who
hath
heard
such
things:
the
virgin
of
Israel
hath
done
a
very
horrible
thing.
14 Will
a
man
leave
the
snow
of
Lebanon
which
cometh
from
the
rock
of
the
field?
or
shall
the
cold
flowing
waters
that
come
from
another
place
be
forsaken?
15 Because
my
people
hath
a
forgotten
me,
they
have
burned
incense
to
b
vanity,
and
they
have
caused
them
to
stumble
in
their
ways
from
the
ancient
paths,
to
walk
in
c
paths,
in
a
way
not
cast
up;
16 To
make
their
land
a
desolate,
and
a
perpetual
hissing;
every
one
that
passeth
thereby
shall
be
astonished,
and
b
wag
his
head.
17 I
will
scatter
them
as
with
an
a
east
wind
before
the
enemy;
I
will
shew
them
the
b
back,
and
not
c
the
face,
in
the
day
of
their
calamity.
18 Then
said
they,
Come,
and
let
us
a
devise
devices
against
Jeremiah;
for
the
law
shall
not
perish
from
the
priest,
nor
counsel
from
the
wise,
nor
the
word
from
the
prophet.
Come,
and
let
us
smite
him
with
the
tongue,
and
let
us
not
give
heed
to
any
of
his
words.
19 Give
heed
to
me,
O
Lord,
and
hearken
to
the
voice
of
them
that
contend
with
me.
20 Shall
evil
be
recompensed
for
good?
for
they
have
digged
a
pit
for
my
soul.
Remember
that
I
stood
before
thee
to
speak
good
for
them,
and
to
turn
away
thy
wrath
from
them.
21 Therefore
deliver
up
their
children
to
the
famine,
and
pour
out
their
blood
by
the
force
of
the
sword;
and
let
their
wives
be
bereaved
of
their
children,
and
be
widows;
and
let
their
men
be
put
to
death;
let
their
young
men
be
slain
by
the
sword
in
battle.
22 Let
a
cry
be
heard
from
their
houses,
when
thou
shalt
bring
a
troop
suddenly
upon
them:
for
they
have
digged
a
pit
to
take
me,
and
hid
snares
for
my
feet.
23 Yet,
Lord,
thou
knowest
all
their
counsel
against
me
to
slay
me:
forgive
not
their
iniquity,
neither
blot
out
their
sin
from
thy
sight,
but
let
them
be
overthrown
before
thee;
deal
thus
with
them
in
the
time
of
thine
anger.
