Jeremiah 18:3-10

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.
