Jeremiah 18:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“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.
In context
4 But 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.
5 Then 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.
7 At any time I might announce that a nation or kingdom will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed.
8 But if that nation I warned turns from its evil, then I will relent of the disaster I had planned to bring.
