Jeremiah 18

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, 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 behold, he was making something on the wheels. 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.
