2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my word.
3 And I shall go down to the potter's house, and behold him doing a work upon the stone.
4 And the vessel which he made was destroyed as clay in the hand of the potter: and he turned back, and he will make another vessel as was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
5 And the word of Jehovah will be to me, saying,
6 As this potter shall I not be able to do to you, O house of Israel? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the hand of the potter, thus are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
7 The moment I shall speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to tear down, and to destroy:
8 And that nation which I spake against it turned back from its evil, and I lamented for the evil which I proposed to do to it.
9 And the moment I shall speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant:
10 And it did evil in mine eyes not to hear to my voice, and I lamented for the good which I said to do well to it
