Jeremiah 18:6-8

Amplified Bible

⁶ “O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?” says the Lord. “Look carefully, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. ⁷ At one moment I might [suddenly] speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will uproot and break down and destroy; ⁸ if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will ^[a]relent and reverse My decision concerning the devastation that I intended to do.
