Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Jeremiah 18:3-10

3So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working at the wheel.
4But the vessel that he was shaping from the clay became flawed in his hand; so he formed it into another vessel, as it seemed best for him to do.
5Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
6“O house of Israel, declares the LORD, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay? Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.
7At any time I might announce that a nation or kingdom will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed.
8But if that nation I warned turns from its evil, then I will relent of the disaster I had planned to bring.
9And if at another time I announce that I will build up and establish a nation or kingdom,
10and if it does evil in My sight and does not listen to My voice, then I will relent of the good I had intended for it.
