Jeremiah 18:1-14

18:1

The word
<01697>

which came to Jeremiah
<03414>

from the LORD
<03068>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

18:2

Arise
<06965> (8798)_,

and go down
<03381> (8804)

to the potter's
<03335> (8802)

house
<01004>_,

and there I will cause thee to hear
<08085> (8686)

my words
<01697>_.

18:3

Then I went down
<03381> (8799)

to the potter's
<03335> (8802)

house
<01004>_,

and, behold
<02009>_,

he wrought
<06213> (8802)

a work
<04399>

on the wheels
<070>_.

{wheels: or, frames, or, seats}

18:4

And the vessel
<03627>

that he made
<06213> (8802)

of clay
<02563>

was marred
<07843> (8738)

in the hand
<03027>

of the potter
<03335> (8802)_:

so he made
<06213> (8799)

it again
<07725> (8804)

another
<0312>

vessel
<03627>_,

as seemed
<05869>

good
<03474> (8804)

to the potter
<03335> (8802)

to make
<06213> (8800)

[it]. {of clay...: or, was marred, as clay in the hand of the potter} {made it...: Heb. returned and made, etc}

18:5

Then the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to me, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

18:6

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

cannot
<03201> (8799)

I do
<06213> (8800)

with you as this potter
<03335> (8802)_?

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

Behold, as the clay
<02563>

[is] in the potter's
<03335> (8802)

hand
<03027>_,

so [are] ye in mine hand
<03027>_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

18:7

[At what] instant
<07281>

I shall speak
<01696> (8762)

concerning a nation
<01471>_,

and concerning a kingdom
<04467>_,

to pluck up
<05428> (8800)_,

and to pull down
<05422> (8800)_,

and to destroy
<06> (8687)

[it];

18:8

If that nation
<01471>_,

against whom I have pronounced
<01696> (8765)_,

turn
<07725> (8804)

from their evil
<07451>_,

I will repent
<05162> (8738)

of the evil
<07451>

that I thought
<02803> (8804)

to do
<06213> (8800)

unto them.

18:9

And [at what] instant
<07281>

I shall speak
<01696> (8762)

concerning a nation
<01471>_,

and concerning a kingdom
<04467>_,

to build
<01129> (8800)

and to plant
<05193> (8800)

[it];

18:10

If it do
<06213> (8804)

evil
<07451>

in my sight
<05869>_,

that it obey
<08085> (8800)

not my voice
<06963>_,

then I will repent
<05162> (8738)

of the good
<02896>_,

wherewith I said
<0559> (8804)

I would benefit
<03190> (8687)

them.

18:11

Now therefore go to, speak
<0559> (8798)

to the men
<0376>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and to the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Behold, I frame
<03335> (8802)

evil
<07451>

against you, and devise
<02803> (8802)

a device
<04284>

against you: return
<07725> (8798)

ye now every one
<0376>

from his evil
<07451>

way
<01870>_,

and make your ways
<01870>

and your doings
<04611>

good
<03190> (8685)_.

18:12

And they said
<0559> (8804)_,

There is no hope
<02976> (8737)_:

but we will walk
<03212> (8799)

after
<0310>

our own devices
<04284>_,

and we will every one
<0376>

do
<06213> (8799)

the imagination
<08307>

of his evil
<07451>

heart
<03820>_.

18:13

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Ask
<07592> (8798)

ye now among the heathen
<01471>_,

who hath heard
<08085> (8804)

such things: the virgin
<01330>

of Israel
<03478>

hath done
<06213> (8804)

a very
<03966>

horrible thing
<08186>_.

18:14

Will [a man] leave
<05800> (8799)

the snow
<07950>

of Lebanon
<03844>

[which cometh] from the rock
<06697>

of the field
<07704>_?

[or] shall the cold
<07119>

flowing
<05140> (8802)

waters
<04325>

that come from another place
<02114> (8801)

be forsaken
<05428> (8735)_?

{the snow...: or, my fields for a rock, or for the snow of Lebanon? shall the running waters be forsaken for the strange cold waters?}
