Jeremiah 18:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Jeremiah 18:4

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 the¹ wheel.

4 And the vessel that he¹ 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.

5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:

6 “O house of Israel, ^acan I not do with you as this potter?” says the Lord. “Look, ^bas the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel!

7 The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to ^apluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it,

8 ^aif that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, ^bI will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it.
