This is the word
that
came
to
Jeremiah
from the LORD:
The word
which came to Jeremiah
from the LORD,
saying,

“Go down
at once
to the potter’s
house,
and there
I will reveal
My message to you.”
Arise,
and go down
to the potter's
house,
and there I will cause thee to hear
my words.

So I went down
to the potter’s
house
and saw him
working
at
the wheel.
Then I went down
to the potter's
house,
and, behold,
he wrought
a work
on the wheels.

But the vessel
that
he
was shaping
from the clay
became flawed
in his
hand;
so he formed
it into another
vessel,
as
it seemed
best
for him
to do.
And the vessel
that he made
of clay
was marred
in the hand
of the potter:
so he made
it again
another
vessel,
as seemed
good
to the potter
to make
[it].

Then the word

“O house
of Israel,
declares
the LORD,
can
I not
treat
you
as this
potter treats his clay?
Just
like clay
in the potter’s
hand,
so
are you
in My hand,
O house
of Israel.
O house
of Israel,
cannot
I do
with you as this potter?
saith
the LORD.
Behold, as the clay

so [are] ye in mine hand,
O house

Now
therefore,
tell
the men

the residents

that this is what
the LORD
says:
‘Behold,
I
am planning
a disaster
for you

a plan

Turn
now,
each of you,
from your evil
ways,
and correct
your ways

Now therefore go to, speak
to the men
of Judah,
and to the inhabitants
of Jerusalem,
saying,
Thus saith
the LORD;
Behold, I frame
evil
against you, and devise
a device
against you: return
ye now every one
from his evil
way,
and make your ways
and your doings
good.

But they will reply,
‘It is hopeless.
We will follow
our own plans,
and each of us
will act
according to the stubbornness
of his evil
heart.’ ”
And they said,
There is no hope:
but we will walk
after
our own devices,
and we will every one
do
the imagination
of his evil
heart.

Therefore
this is what

Virgin
Israel

My people

They burn incense

leaving the ancient
roads

bypaths

Because my people

Then some said,
“Come,
let us make plans
against
Jeremiah,
for
the law
will never
be lost
to the priest,
nor counsel
to the wise,
nor an oracle
to the prophet.
Come,
let us denounce him
and pay no
heed
to
any
of his words.”
Then said
they, Come,
and let us devise
devices
against Jeremiah;
for the law
shall not perish
from the priest,
nor counsel
from the wise,
nor the word
from the prophet.
Come,
and let us smite
him with the tongue,
and let us not give heed
to any of his words.
