The Potter and The ClayJeremiah 18:1-6

“The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Arise, and go down to the

potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a

work on the wheels. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the

potter: so he made it again into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to

make it.

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, O house of Israel, cannot I do with

you as this potter? Saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.”
