18:1 The
word
which
came
to
Ieremiah
from
ye
Lord
saying,
18:2 Arise
and
go
downe
to
the
potters
house,
&
there
I
will
cause
thee
to
heare
my
words.
18:3 Then
I
went
downe
to
the
potters
house,
and
behold,
hee
wrought
a
worke
on
the
wheeles.
18:4 And
the
vessell
that
he
made
of
clay,
was
marred
in
the
hand
of
the
potter;
so
he
made
it
againe
another
vessell
as
seemed
good
to
the
potter
to
make
it.
18:5 Then
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
me,
saying,
18:6 O
house
of
Israel,
cannot
I
doe
with
you
as
this
potter,
saith
the
Lord
Behold,
as
the
clay
is
in
the
potters
hand,
so
are
ye
in
mine
hand,
O
house
of
Israel.
18:7 At
what
instant
I
shall
speake
concerning
a
nation,
and
concerning
a
kingdome,
to
plucke
vp
and
to
pull
downe,
and
to
destroy
it.
18:8 If
that
nation
against
whom
I
haue
pronounced,
turne
from
their
euill,
I
will
repent
of
the
euill
that
I
thought
to
doe
vnto
them.
18:9 And
at
what
instant
I
shall
speake
concerning
a
nation,
and
concerning
a
kingdome
to
build
and
to
plant
it;
18:10 If
it
doe
euill
in
my
sight,
that
it
obey
not
my
voice,
then
I
will
repent
of
the
good;
wherewith
I
saide
I
would
benefite
them.
18:11 Now
therefore
goe
to,
speake
to
the
men
of
Iudah,
and
to
the
inhabitants
of
Ierusalem,
saying,
Thus
saith
the
Lord;
Behold,
I
frame
euill
against
you,
and
deuise
a
deuice
against
you:
returne
ye
now
euery
one
from
his
euill
way,
and
make
your
waies
and
your
doings
good.
18:12 And
they
said,
There
is
no
hope,
but
wee
will
walke
after
our
owne
deuices,
and
wee
will
euery
one
doe
the
imagination
of
his
euil
heart.
18:13 Therefore
thus
saith
the
Lord,
Aske
ye
now
among
the
heathen,
who
hath
heard
such
things
the
Uirgin
of
Israel
hath
done
a
very
horrible
thing.
18:14 Will
a
man
leaue
the
snow
of
Lebanon
which
commeth
from
the
rocke
of
the
fielde
or
shall
the
colde
flowing
waters
that
come
from
another
place,
be
forsaken
18:15 Because
my
people
hath
forgotten
mee,
they
haue
burnt
incense
to
vanitie,
and
they
haue
caused
them
to
stumble
in
their
waies
from
the
ancient
paths,
to
walke
in
paths,
in
a
way
not
cast
vp,
18:16 To
make
their
land
desolate
and
a
perpetuall
hissing:
euery
one
that
passeth
thereby
shall
bee
astonished,
and
wagge
his
head.
18:17 I
will
scatter
them
as
with
an
East
winde
before
the
enemie:
I
will
shew
them
the
backe,
and
not
the
face,
in
the
day
of
their
calamitie.
18:18 Then
said
they,
Come,
and
let
vs
deuise
deuices
against
Ieremiah:
for
the
Law
shall
not
perish
from
the
Priest,
nor
counsell
from
the
wise,
nor
the
word
from
the
prophet:
Come
and
let
vs
smite
him
with
the
tongue,
and
let
vs
not
giue
heede
to
any
of
his
wordes.
18:19 Giue
heed
to
me,
O
Lord,
and
hearken
to
the
voice
of
them
that
contend
with
me.
18:20 Shall
euill
bee
recompensed
for
good
for
they
haue
digged
a
pit
for
my
soule:
remember
that
I
stood
before
thee
to
speake
good
for
them,
and
to
turne
away
thy
wrath
from
them.
18:21 Therefore
deliuer
vp
their
children
to
the
famine,
and
powre
out
their
blood
by
the
force
of
the
sword,
and
let
their
wiues
be
bereaued
of
their
children
and
be
widowes,
and
let
their
men
be
put
to
death,
let
their
yong
men
be
slaine
by
the
sword
in
battell.
18:22 Let
a
crie
bee
heard
from
their
houses,
when
thou
shalt
bring
a
troupe
suddenly
vpon
them,
for
they
haue
digged
a
pit
to
take
me,
and
hid
snares
for
my
feet.
18:23 Yet
Lord
thou
knowest
all
their
counsell
against
me
to
slay
mee:
forgiue
not
their
iniquitie,
neither
blot
out
their
sinne
from
thy
sight,
but
let
them
bee
ouerthrowen
before
thee,
deale
thus
with
them
in
the
time
of
thine
anger.
