Jeremiah 18:8-10

Leeser(i) 8 But should that nation, against whom I have spoken, return from their wrong-doing: then will I bethink me of the evil that I had thought to do unto them. 9 And at one instant I speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 But should it do what is evil in my eyes, so as not to hearken to my voice: then will I bethink me of the good, wherewith I had thought to benefit the same.
