Jeremiah 18:6-8

International Children’s Bible

⁶ “Family of Israel, can’t I do the same thing with you?” says the Lord. “You are like the clay in the potter’s hands. ⁷ There may come a time when I will speak about a nation or a kingdom. I might say I will pull that nation up by its roots. Or I might say I will pull that nation down and destroy it. ⁸ But if the people of that nation are sorry for the evil they have done, I would change my mind. I would not carry out my plans to bring disaster to them.
