Matthew(i)
3 Now when I came to the Potters house, I founde hym makynge his worcke vpon a whele.
4 The vessell that the Potter made of claye, brake amonge hys handes: So he beganne a new, and made another vessell, accordynge to hys mynde.
5 Then sayde the Lorde thus vnto me:
6 Maye not I do with you, as this Potter doth, O ye house of Israel, sayeth the Lord? Beholde, ye house of Israell: ye are in my hande, euen as the claye in the Potters hande.
7 When I take in hande to rote out, to destroye, or to waste awaye eny people or kingdome:
8 yf that people (agaynst whom I haue this deuysed) conuerte from their wickednes: Immediatly, I repente of the plage, that I deuysed to brynge vpon them.
9 Agayne. When I take in hande, to buylde, or to plante a people or a kyngdome:
10 yf the same people do euell before me, and heare not my voyce: Immediatly, I repente of the good, that I deuyse to do for them.
