18 : 1 The word that came to Jeremiah from theLord:
|
|
18 : 2 Arise, and go down tothe potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words.
|
|
18 : 3 So I went down tothe potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel.
|
|
18 : 4 And the vessel he was making of clay wasspoiled in the potter's hand, andhe reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.
|
|
18 : 5 Then the word of theLordcame to me:
|
|
18 : 6 O house of Israel,can I not do with you as this potter has done? declares theLord.Behold, like the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
|
|
18 : 7 If at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I willpluck up and break down and destroy it,
|
|
18 : 8 and if that nation, concerning which I have spoken,turns from its evil,I will relent of the disaster that I intended to do to it.
|
|
18 : 9 And if at any time I declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I willbuild and plant it,
|
|
18 : 10 and if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will relent of the good that I had intended to do to it.
|
|
18 : 11 Now, therefore, say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:Thus says theLord, Behold, I am shaping disaster against you and devising a plan against you.Return, every one from his evil way, andamend your ways and your deeds.
|
|
18 : 12 But they say,That is in vain! We will follow our own plans, and will every one act according tothe stubbornness of his evil heart.
|
|
18 : 13 Therefore thus says theLord:Ask among the nations,Who has heard the like of this?The virgin Israelhas donea very horrible thing.
|
|
18 : 14 Does the snow of Lebanon leavethe crags of Sirion?Do the mountain waters run dry,the cold flowing streams?
|
|
18 : 15 But my people have forgotten me;they make offerings tofalse gods;they made them stumble in their ways,in the ancient roads,and to walk into side roads,not the highway,
|
|
18 : 16 making their landa horror,a thingto be hissed at forever.Everyone who passes by it is horrifiedand shakes his head.
|
|
18 : 17 Like the east windI will scatter thembefore the enemy.I will show them my back, not my face,in the day of their calamity.
|
|
18 : 18 Then they said,Come, let us make plots against Jeremiah,for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet.Come, let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.
|
|
18 : 19 Hear me, OLord,andlisten to the voice of my adversaries.
|
|
18 : 20 Should good be repaid with evil?Yetthey have dug a pit for my life.Remember how I stood before youto speak good for them,to turn away your wrath from them.
|
|
18 : 21 Thereforedeliver up their children to famine;give them over to the power of the sword;let their wives become childlessand widowed.May their men meet death by pestilence,their youths be struck down by the sword in battle.
|
|
18 : 22 May a cry be heard from their houses,when you bring the plunderer suddenly upon them!Forthey have dug a pit to take meand laid snares for my feet.
|
|
18 : 23 Yetyou, OLord, knowall their plotting to kill me.Forgive not their iniquity,nor blot out their sin from your sight.Let them be overthrown before you;deal with them in the time of your anger.
