Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. 7 At any moment I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turns from their evil, I will relent of the evil that I thought to do to them. 9 And at any moment I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it does evil in my sight, so that it does not obey my voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said I would benefit them. 11 Now therefore go, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a plan against you: return now everyone from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good. 12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own plans, and we will everyone do the imagination of his evil heart.
