MLV(i)
2 Arise and go down to the potter's house and there I will cause you to hear my words.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was making a work on the wheels. 4 And when the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it another vessel again, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
5 Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you* as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you* in my hand, O house of Israel.
7 At that instant I will speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it, 8 if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
9 And at that instant I will speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, 10 if they do what is evil in my sight, that they obey not my voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said I would benefit them.
11 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Jehovah says thus: Behold, I frame evil against you* and devise a device against you*. Return now everyone from his evil way and amend your* ways and your* practices. 12 But they say, It is in vain. For we will walk after our own devices and we will do everyone according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.
