Scripture Jeremiah 18:1-11

Our Hebrew Lesson comes from Jeremiah 18:1-11

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Come, go down to the

potter’s house, and there I will let you hear my words.” So I went down

to the potter’s house, and there he was working at his wheel. The vessel

he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter’s hand, and he

reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to him.

Then the word of the Lord came to me: Can I not do with you, O house

of Israel, just as this potter has done? says the Lord. Just like the clay in

the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel. At one

moment I may declare concerning a nation or a kingdom, that I will

pluck up and break down and destroy it, but if that nation, concerning

which I have spoken, turns from its evil, I will change my mind about

the disaster that I intended to bring on it. And at another moment I may

declare concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it,

but if it does evil in my sight, not listening to my voice, then I will

change my mind about the good that I had intended to do to it. Now,

therefore, say to the people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:

Thus says the Lord: Look, I am a potter shaping evil against you and

devising a plan against you. Turn now, all of you from your evil way,

and amend your ways and your doings.

THE WORD OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD!
