THE MESSAGE
Then God 's Message came to me: "Can't I do just as this potter does, people of Israel?" God 's Decree! "Watch this potter. In the same way that this potter works his clay, I work on you, people of Israel. At any moment I may decide to pull up a people or a country by the roots and get rid of them. But if they repent of their wicked lives, I will think twice and start over with them. At another time I might decide to plant a people or country, but if they don't cooperate and won't listen to me, I will think again and give up on the plans I had for them.

Contextual Overview

¹The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD: ²"Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will make you hear My words." ³Then I went down to the potter's house, and saw that he was working at the wheel. ⁴But the vessel that he was making from clay was spoiled by the potter's hand; so he made it over, reworking it and making it into another pot that seemed good to him. ⁵Then the word of the LORD came to me:⁶"O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" says the LORD. "Look carefully, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. ⁷"At one moment I might [suddenly] speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will uproot and break down and destroy; ⁸if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent and reverse My decision concerning the devastation that I intended to do. ⁹"Or at another time I might [suddenly] speak about a nation or kingdom that I will build up or establish; ¹⁰and if they do evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will reverse My decision concerning the good with which I had promised to bless them.
