Jeremiah - Chapter: 18


18:1	The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
18:2	Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
18:3	Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.
18:4	And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, 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 do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
18:7	At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;
18:8	If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.
18:9	And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;
18:10	If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
18:11	Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.
18:12	And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.
18:13	Therefore thus saith the LORD; Ask ye now among the heathen, who hath heard such things: the virgin of Israel hath done a very horrible thing.
18:14	Will a man leave the snow of Lebanon which cometh from the rock of the field? or shall the cold flowing waters that come from another place be forsaken?
18:15	Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths, in a way not cast up;
18:16	To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.
18:17	I will scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will shew them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity.
18:18	Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.
18:19	Give heed to me, O LORD, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
18:20	Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
18:21	Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and pour out their blood by the force of the sword; and let their wives be bereaved of their children, and be widows; and let their men be put to death; let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
18:22	Let a cry be heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them: for they have digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.
18:23	Yet, LORD, thou knowest all their counsel against me to slay me: forgive not their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from thy sight, but let them be overthrown before thee; deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.


18:1	The worde which came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
18:2	Arise, and go downe into the potters house, and there shall I shewe thee my words.
18:3	Then I went downe to the potters house, and behold, he wrought a worke on the wheeles.
18:4	And the vessell that he made of clay, was broken in the hand of the potter. so he returned, and made it another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.
18:5	Then the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
18:6	O house of Israel, cannot I doe with you as this potter, sayth the Lord? beholde, as the clay is in the potters hande, so are you in mine hande, O house of Israel.
18:7	I will speake suddenly against a nation or against a kingdome to plucke it vp, and to roote it out and to destroy it.
18:8	But if this nation, against whom I haue pronounced, turne from their wickednesse, I will repent of the plague that I thought to bring vpon them.
18:9	And I wil speake suddenly concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdome to builde it and to plant it.
18:10	But if it do euill in my sight and heare not my voyce, I will repent of ye good that I thought to do for them.
18:11	Speake thou nowe therefore vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, saying, Thus saith ye Lord, Behold, I prepare a plague for you, and purpose a thing against you: returne you therefore euery one from his euill way, and make your wayes and your workes good.
18:12	But they sayde desperately, Surely wee will walke after our owne imaginations, and doe euery man after the stubburnnesse of his wicked heart.
18:13	Therefore thus saith the Lord, Aske now among the heathen, who hath heard such thinges? the virgin of Israel hath done very filthily.
18:14	Will a man forsake the snowe 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 me, and haue burnt incense to vanitie, and their prophets haue caused them to stumble in their wayes from the auncient wayes, to walke in the pathes and way that is not troden,
18:16	To make their land desolate and a perpetual derision, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and wagge his head,
18:17	I will scatter them with an East winde before the enemie: I will shewe them the backe, and not the face in the day of their destruction.
18:18	Then sayde they, Come, and let vs imagine some deuice against Ieremiah: for the Lawe shall not perish from the Priest, nor counsell from the wise, nor the worde from the Prophet: come, and let vs smite him with the tongue, and let vs not giue heede to any of his words.
18:19	Hearken vnto mee, O Lord, and heare the voyce of them that contend with me.
18:20	Shall euill be recompensed for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule: remember that I stood before thee, to speake good for the, and to turne away thy wrath from them.
18:21	Therefore, deliuer vp their children to famine, and let them drop away by the force of the sworde, and let their wiues be robbed of their children, and be widowes: and let their husbands be put to death, and let their yong men be slayne by the sword in the battell.
18:22	Let the crye bee heard from their houses, when thou shalt bring an hoste suddenly vpon them: for they haue digged a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feete.
18:23	Yet Lord thou knowest al their counsel against me tendeth to death: forgiue not their iniquitie, neither put out their sinne from thy sight, but let them be ouerthrowen before thee: deale thus with them in the time of thine anger.


18:1	This is another communicacion, that God had with Ieremy, saying:
18:2	Aryse, and goo downe into the Potters house, and there shall I tell the more of my mynde.
18:3	Now when I cam to the Potters house, I founde hym makynge his worcke vpon a whele.
18:4	The vessell that the Potter made of claye, brake amonge his handes: So be beganne a new, and made another vessel accordynge to his mynde.
18:5	Then sayde the Lorde thus vnto me.
18:6	Maye not I do with you, as this Potter doth, O ye house of Israel, sayeth the Lorde? Beholde, ye house of Israel: ye are in my hande, euen as the claye in the Potters hande.
18:7	When I take in hande to rote out, to destroye, or to waste awaye eny people or kyngdom
18:8	yf that people (agaynst whom I haue thus deuysed) conuerte from theyr wyckednes: I repente of the plage, that I deuysed to brynge vpon them.
18:9	Agayne, when I take in hande, to buylde, or to plante a people or a kyngdom:
18:10	yf the same people do euell before me, and heare not my voyce: I repente of the good, that I deuise to do for them:
18:11	Speake now therfore vnto whole Iuda: and to them that dwell at Ierusalem. Thus sayeth the Lorde: Beholde, I am deuisyng a plage for you, and am takynge a thing in hande agaynst you. Therfore let euery man turne from his euell waye, take vpon you the thynge that is good, and do right.
18:12	But they sayde. Nomore of this we wyll folowe oure awne ymaginacions, and do euery man accordynge to the wylfulnesse of his awne mynde.
18:13	Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde. Aske amonge the Heathen, yf eny man hath herde soch horryble thynges, as the daughter of Sion hath done.
18:14	Shall not the snowe (that melteth vpon the stony rockes of Libanus) moysten the feldes? Or maye the sprynges of waters be so grauen awaye, that they runne nomore, geue moystnesse, ner make frutefull?
18:15	But my people hath so forgotten me, that they haue made sacryfyce vnto vayne Goddes. And theyr prophetes make them fal in theyr wayes from the auncyent pathes, and to go into a fote waye not vsed to be troden of iust men.
18:16	Where thorowe they haue brought their lande into an euerlastyng wildernesse & scorne. So that whosoeuer trauayleth therby, shalbe abashed, & wagge theyr heades.
18:17	With an East wynde wyll I scatre them, before their enemie. And when their destruccion commeth, I wyll turne my backe vpon them, but not my face.
18:18	Then sayde they come, let vs ymagen somthynge agaynst this Ieremye. For the prestes shall not be destitute of the lawe, nether shall the wysemen de destitute of councel, ner the prophetes destitute of the worde of God. Come, and let vs smyte him with the tong, and let vs marke all his wordes.
18:19	Consydre me, O Lord, and heare the voyce of myne enemies
18:20	shall they recompence euell for good? for they haue digged a pit for my soule. Remembre, howe that I stode before the, to speake good for them, & to turne awaye thy wrath from them.
18:21	Therfore let their children dye of hunger, and let them be oppressed wyth the swearde. Let their wiues be robbed of their children, and become wyddowes: let their husbandes be slayne, let their yonge men be kylled with the swearde in the felde.
18:22	Lett the noyse be herde out of their houses, when the murtherer commeth sodenly vpon them. For they haue dygged a pyt to take me, & layed snares for my fete.
18:23	Yet Lorde, thou knowest all their councell, that they haue deuised, to slaye me. Forgeue not their wyckednes, and let not their sinne be put out of thy syght: but let them be iudged before the as the gyltie: This shalt thou do vnto them in the tyme of thy indignacion.
