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.

Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, house of Israel. ⁷ At the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to break down, and to destroy, ⁸ if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, then I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. ⁹ And at the moment that I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant, ¹⁰ if it do evil in my sight, that it hearken not unto my voice, then I will repent of the good wherewith I said I would benefit them.
