Jeremiah 18:6 WEB

⁴  When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

⁵  Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

⁶  House of Israel, can't I do with you as this potter? says Yahweh. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.

⁷  At what instant I shall 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, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them.
