Jeremiah 18:11
New English Translation
11 So now, tell the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem this: The Lord says, ‘I am preparing to bring disaster on you! I am making plans to punish you.[a] So, every one of you, stop the evil things you have been doing.[b] Correct the way you have been living and do what is right.’[c]

- Jeremiah 18:11 sn Heb “I am forming disaster and making plans against you.” The word translated “forming” is the same as that for “potter,” so there is a wordplay taking the reader back to v. 5. They are in his hands like the clay in the hands of the potter. Since they have not been pliable he forms new plans. He still offers them opportunity to repent, but their response is predictable.
- Jeremiah 18:11 tn Heb “Turn, each one from his wicked way.” See v. 8.
- Jeremiah 18:11 tn Or “Make good your ways and your actions.” See the same expression in 7:3, 5.
