¹ This is another communication that God had with Ieremie, saying: ² Arise, and go downe into the potters house, & there shal I tell thee more of my mynde, ³ Nowe when I came to the potters house, I founde hym makyng his worke vpon a wheele. ⁴ The vessell that the potter made of clay, brake among his handes: So he began a newe, and made another vessell accordyng to his mynde. ⁵ Then sayde the Lorde thus vnto me: ⁶ May not I do with you as this potter doth O ye house of Israel saith the Lorde? Beholde ye house of Israel, ye are in my hande, euen as the clay is in the potters hande. ⁷ When I take in hande to roote out, to destroy, or to waste away any people or kyngdome: ⁸ If that people agaynst whom I haue thus deuised, conuert from their wickednesse, I repent of the plague that I deuised to bryng vpon them. ⁹ Agayne, when I take in hande to builde or to plant a people or a kyngdome: ¹⁰ If the same people do euyll before me and heare not my voyce, I repent of the good that I haue deuised for them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the vessel that he made of clay,.... Which is the matter the vessel is made of:

was marred in the hand of the potter; while he was working it; either it fell, as the Septuagint version renders it, out of his hands, or from the beam on which it was laid; or was spoiled by some means or other, so that it was not fit for the purpose he first intended it: or the words should be read, according to some copies, "and the vessel was marred which he made, as clay in the hand of the potter" r; while it was clay; or moist, as Jarchi interprets it; and while it was in his hands, forming and fashioning it:

so he made it again another vessel; put it into another form and shape it would better serve:

as seemed good to the potter to make [it]; just as he pleased, and as his judgment in his art directed him; he having power over the clay to mould it as he would, and as it best answered so to do.

r ונשחת הכלי אשר הוא עשה כחמר ביד היוצר "sed corruptum est vas quod ille ficiens (erat) sicud lutum (solet) in manu figuli", Schmidt, Montanus. So Abarbinel; and thus it is read in the margin of our Bibles.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Jeremiah 18:4. The vessel - was marred in the hands of the potter — It did not stand in the working; it got out of shape; or some gravel or small stone having been incorporated with the mass of clay, made a breach in that part where it was found, so that the potter was obliged to knead up the clay afresh, place it on the wheel, and form it anew; and then it was such a vessel as seemed good to the potter to make it.
