Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear My Words.

Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was working a work on the wheel.

And the vessel that he made in clay was ruined in the hand of the potter; so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, As the clay in the potter's hands, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

So says Jehovah, Go and get a potter's earthen jar, and assemble from the elders of the people and of the elders of the priests.

and shall say to them, So says Jehovah of Hosts, Even so I will break this people of this city, as one breaks a potter's vessel that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury them in Tophet until there is no place left to bury.
