CAB(i)
3 So I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was making a vessel on the stones.
4 And the vessel which he was making with his hands fell apart. So he made it into another vessel, as it seemed good to him.
5 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
6 O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? Behold, as the clay is in the potter'shand, so are you in My hands.
7 If I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation, or upon a kingdom, to cut them off, and to destroy them;
8 and that nation turn from all their sins, then will I relent of the disasters which I purposed to do to them.
9 And if I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation and kingdom, to rebuild and to plant it;
10 and they do evil before Me, so as not to heed My voice, then will I relent of the good which I spoke of, to do it to them.
