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 to Jeremias from the Lord, saying: ² Arise, and go down into the potter’s house, and there thou shalt hear my words. ³ And I went down into the potter’s house, and behold he was doing a work on the wheel. ⁴ And the vessel was broken which he was making of clay with his hands: and turning he made another vessel, as it seemed good in his eyes to make it. ⁵ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: ⁶ Cannot I do with you, as this potter, O house of Israel, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. ⁷ I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it. ⁸ If that nation against which I have spoken, shall repent of their evil, I also will repent of the evil that I have thought to do to them. ⁹ And I will suddenly speak of a nation and of a kingdom, to build up and plant it. ¹⁰ If it shall do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice: I will repent of the good that I have spoken to do unto it.
