Jeremiah 18:8 Context
6O house of Israel, cannot I doe with you as this potter, saith the Lord ? Behold, as the clay is in the potters hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel. 7At what instant I shall speake concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome, to plucke vp and to pull downe, and to destroy it. 8If that nation against whom I haue pronounced, turne from their euill, I will repent of the euill that I thought to doe vnto them. 9And at what instant I shall speake concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome to build and to plant it; 10If it doe euill in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good; wherewith I saide I would benefite them.
