2. Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
3. Then I went down to the potter’s house; and, behold, he wrought a work upon a wheel.
4. And the vessel that he made of clay was broken in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
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? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.
7. In an instant I shall speak against Gentiles and against kingdoms, to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy.
