Jeremiah 18:7
The Potter and the Clay
6“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.7At any time I might announce that a nation or kingdom will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed.8But if that nation I warned turns from its evil, then I will relent of the disaster I had planned to bring.
