LEB(i)
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, ⌊saying⌋,*
2 "Stand up and go down to the house of the potter, and there I will let you hear my words."
3 So I went down to the house of the potter and look, there he was doing work at the potter's wheels.
4 And the vessel that he was making with the clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter, so ⌊he made again⌋* another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make.
5 And the word of Yahweh came to me, ⌊saying⌋,*
6 "Like this potter, am I not able to do to you, O house of Israel?" ⌊declares⌋* Yahweh. "Look, like the clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
7 One moment I speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to uproot, and to tear down, and to destroy it.*
8 But if that nation turns back from its evil that I have threatened against it, then I will relent concerning the disaster that I planned to do to it.
9 And the next moment I speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant it.*
10 But if it does evil in my sight, to not listen to my voice, then I will relent concerning the good that I said I would do to it.
