'Potter' in the Bible

You have turned things around,as if the potter were the same as the clay.How can what is made say about its maker,“He didn’t make me”?How can what is formedsay about the one who formed it,“He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?

“I have raised up one from the north, and he has come,one from the east who invokes My name.He will march over rulers as if they were mud,like a potter who treads the clay.

Yet Lord, You are our Father;we are the clay, and You are our potter;we all are the work of Your hands.

“House of Israel, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay?”—this is the Lord’s declaration. “Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, house of Israel.

“Throw it to the potter,” the Lord said to me—this magnificent price I was valued by them. So I took the 30 pieces of silver and threw it into the house of the Lord, to the potter.

Or has the potter no right over the clay, to make from the same lump one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor?
