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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And [at what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom,.... By way of promise on the other hand: or, "and the moment I shall speak", c. as in Jeremiah 18:7 in favour to a people; signifying, that if they do that which is right and good, and continue therein, it may be expected that I will appear for and among such a nation and kingdom:
to build and to plant [it]; to build up its fences that have been broken down, and to plant it with pleasant plants, and make it prosperous and flourishing, and protect and defend it, and keep it safe, and in a secure condition; so that it shall be in very thriving circumstances, and be out of the power of its enemies to hurt it.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
