1: The wordH1697 whichH0834 cameH1961 toH0413 JeremiahH3414 fromH0853 Yahweh,H3068 saying,H0559

2: Arise,H6965 and go downH3381 to house,H1004 of the potterH3335 and thereH8033 I will cause you to hearH8085 -H0853 My words.H1697

3: And I went downH3381 to house,H1004 of the potterH3335 he,H2009 makingH6213 somethingH4399 atH5921 the wheel.H0070

4: And was marredH7843 the vesselH3627 thatH0834 heH1931 madeH6213 of clayH2563 in the handH3027 of the potter-H3335 so againH7725 and he made itH6213 into vessel,H3627 anotherH0312 asH0834 goodH3474 it seemed toH5869 the potterH3335 to make.H6213

5: And cameH1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 to meH0413 saying,H0559

6: can as potter?H3335 thisH2088 notH3808 IH3201 doH6213 houseH1004 of Israel,H3478 saysH5002 Yahweh.H3068 Look,H2009 as the clay [is]H2563 in hand,H3027 the potter'sH3335 soH3651 [are] youH0859 in My hand,H3027 houseH1004 of Israel.H3478

7: The instantH7281 I speakH1696 concerningH5921 a nation,H1471 and concerningH5921 a kingdom,H4467 to pluck up,H5428 and to pull down,H5422 and to destroy [it].H0006

8: And if turnsH7725 nation,H1471 thatH1931 from its evil,H7451 whomH0834 I have spoken,H1696 against whomH5921 and I will relentH5162 ofH5921 the disasterH7451 thatH0834 I thoughtH2803 to bringH6213

9: And the instantH7281 I speakH1696 concerningH5921 a nation,H1471 and concerningH5921 a kingdom,H4467 to buildH1129 and to plant [it].H5193

10: And if it doesH6213 evilH7451 in My sight,H5869 notH1115 so that it does obeyH8085 My voice,H6963 then I will relentH5162 concerningH5921 the good,H2896 with whichH0834 I saidH0559 I would benefitH3190 it.H0853

11: Therefore nowH6258 speakH0559 nowH4994 toH0413 the menH0376 of Judah,H3063 and toH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of Jerusalem,H3389 saying,H0559 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh-H3068 behold,H2009 IH0595 am fashioningH3335 uponH5921 a disasterH7451 and devisingH2803 against youH5921 a planH4284 ReturnH7725 nowH4994 every oneH0376 from his way,H1870 evilH7451 and make goodH3190 your waysH1870 and your doings.H4611

12: And they said,H0559 that is hopeless!H2976 soH3588 according toH0310 our own plans,H4284 we will walkH1980 and every oneH0376 the dictatesH8307 of his heart.H3820 EvilH7451 we will obey.H6213

13: ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh-H3068 AskH7592 nowH4994 among the Gentiles,H1471 whoH4310 has heardH8085 these [things]H0428 a horrible thing.H8186 Has doneH6213 veryH3966 the virginH1330 of Israel.H3478

14: Will [a man] leaveH5800 [Which comes] from the rockH6697 of the field?H7704 the snow [water]H7950 of LebanonH3844 OrH0518 will be forsaken?H5428 the watersH4325 for strange [waters]H2114 coldH7119 flowing.H5140

15: BecauseH3588 have forgotten MeH7911 My peopleH5971 to worthless idols,H7723 they have burned incenseH6999 and they have caused themselves to stumbleH3782 in their waysH1870 [From] the paths,H7635 ancientH5769 to walkH1980 in paths,H5410 in pathwaysH1870 and notH3808 on a highway-H5549

16: to makeH7760 their landH0776 desolate,H8047 [and] a hissing-H8292 perpetualH5769 EveryoneH3605 who passesH5674 by itH5921 will be astonished,H8074 and shakeH5110 his head.H7218

17: As with windH7307 an eastH6921 I will scatter themH6327 beforeH6440 the enemy-H0341 the back,H6203 and notH3808 the face,H6440 I will show themH7200 in the dayH3117 of their calamity.H0343

18: And they saidH0559 come,H1980 and let us deviseH2803 againstH5921 Jeremiah-H3414 plansH4284 forH3588 notH3808 shall perishH0006 the lawH8451 from the priest,H3548 nor counselH6098 from the wise,H2450 nor the wordH1697 from the prophet.H5030 Come,H1980 and let us attack himH5221 with the tongue,H3956 and notH0408 let us give heedH7181 toH0413 anyH3605 of his words.H1697

19: Give heedH7181 Yahweh,H3068 to meH0413 and listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of those who contend with me.H3401

20: Shall be repaidH7999 forH8478 good?H2896 evilH7451 forH3588 they have dugH3738 a pitH7745 for my life.H5315 RememberH2142 that I stoodH5975 before YouH6440 to speakH1696 for themH5921 goodH2896 to turn awayH7725 -H0853 Your wrathH2534 from them.H1992

21: ThereforeH3651 deliver upH5414 -H0853 their childrenH1121 to the famine,H7458 and pour out their [blood]H5064 byH5921 the forceH3027 of the sword-H2719 and let [become]H1961 their wivesH0802 bereaved of their children,H7909 and widows-H0490 and their menH0376 let beH1961 put toH2026 death-H4194 their young menH0970 [be] slain byH5221 the swordH2719 in battle.H4421

22: Let be heardH8085 a cryH2201 from their houses,H1004 whenH3588 You bringH0935 upon themH5921 a troopH1416 suddenlyH6597 forH3588 they have dugH3738 a pitH7882 to take meH3920 and snaresH6341 hiddenH2934 for my feet.H7272

23: And yet YouH0859 Yahweh,H3068 knowH3045 -H0853 allH3605 their counselH6098 which is against meH5921 to slay [me]H4194 noH0408 Provide atonementH3722 forH5921 their iniquity,H5771 and their sinH2403 from Your sight,H6440 norH0408 blot outH4229 but let them beH1961 overthrownH3782 before YouH6440 in the timeH6256 of Your anger.H0639 Deal [thus]H6213
