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
1 The word that came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying: 2 Arise and go down to the house of the potter, - and, there, will I cause thee to hear my words. 3 So I went down, to the house of the potter, - and there he was! making a piece of work on the wheels, 4 Then was marred, the vessel that he was making, while yet it was clay in the hand of the potter, - so he turned and made of it another vessel, as seemed right in the eyes of the potter to make it. 5 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying: 6 Like this potter, can I not deal with you O house of Israel? Demandeth Yahweh: Lo! as clay in the hand of the potter, So, are, ye, in my hand O house of Israel. 7 The moment I speak, concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, - to pull up and to break down, and to destroy; 8 and that nation return from its wickedness against whom I have spoken, then will I repent concerning the calamity which I had devised to bring upon it. 9 And, the moment I speak, concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, - to build and to plant; 10 and it commit wickedness in mine eyes, in not hearkening unto my voice, then will I repent concerning the good wherewith I had said I would do it good.
