Jeremiah 18:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ Cannot I do with you, as this potter, O house of Israel, saith the Lord? behold as clay is in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.

⁷ I will suddenly speak against a nation, and against a kingdom, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy it.

⁸ If that nation against which I have spoken, shall repent of their evil, I also will repent of the evil that I have thought to do to them.
