Jeremiah 18:6
Compare all
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.
