Jeremiah 181-6
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord,
saying 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 there he was, making something at the
wheel. 4 And the vessel that he made of clay was
marred in the hand of the potter so he made it
again into another vessel, as it seemed good to
the potter to make.
3
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me,
saying 6 "O house of Israel, can I not do with
you as this potter?" says the Lord. "Look, as the
clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My
hand, O house of Israel! New King James

6 "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as
this potter?" says the Lord. "Look, as the clay
is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O
house of Israel!
