Jeremiah 18

1 Under the type of a potter is shewed God's absolute power in disposing of nations. 11 Judgments threatened to Judah for her strange revolt. 18 Jeremiah prayeth against his conspirators.

 18:1 ¶ The word 1697 which x834 came x1961 to x413 Jeremiah 3414 from x4480 x854 the LORD, 3068 saying, 559 z8800

 18:2 Arise, 6965 z8798 and go down 3381 z8804 to the potter's 3335 z8802 house, 1004 and there x8033 I will cause thee to hear 8085 z8686 x853 my words. 1697

 18:3 Then I went down 3381 z8799 to the potter's 3335 z8802 house, 1004 and, behold, 2009 he wrought 6213 z8802 a work 4399 on x5921 the wheels. 70

 18:4 And the vessel 3627 that x834 he x1931 made 6213 z8802 of clay 2563 was marred 7843 z8738 in the hand 3027 of the potter: 3335 z8802 so he made 6213 z8799 it again 7725 z8804 another 312 vessel, 3627 as x834 seemed 5869 good 3474 z8804 to the potter 3335 z8802 to make 6213 z8800 [it].

 18:5 Then the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came x1961 to x413 me, saying, 559 z8800

 18:6 O house 1004 of Israel, 3478 cannot 3201 z8799 x3808 I do 6213 z8800 with you as this x2088 potter? 3335 z8802 saith 5002 z8803 the LORD. 3068 Behold, x2009 as the clay 2563 [is] in the potter's 3335 z8802 hand, 3027 so x3651 [are] ye x859 in mine hand, 3027 O house 1004 of Israel. 3478

 18:7 [At what] instant 7281 I shall speak 1696 z8762 concerning x5921 a nation, 1471 and concerning x5921 a kingdom, 4467 to pluck up, 5428 z8800 and to pull down, 5422 z8800 and to destroy 6 z8687 [it];

 18:8 If that x1931 nation, 1471 against x5921 whom x834 I have pronounced, 1696 z8765 turn 7725 z8804 from their evil, 7451 x4480 I will repent 5162 z8738 of x5921 the evil 7451 that x834 I thought 2803 z8804 to do 6213 z8800 unto them.

 18:9 And [at what] instant 7281 I shall speak 1696 z8762 concerning x5921 a nation, 1471 and concerning x5921 a kingdom, 4467 to build 1129 z8800 and to plant 5193 z8800 [it];

 18:10 If it do 6213 z8804 evil 7451 in my sight, 5869 that it obey 8085 z8800 not x1115 my voice, 6963 then I will repent 5162 z8738 of x5921 the good, 2896 wherewith x834 I said 559 z8804 I would benefit 3190 z8687 them.

 18:11 ¶ Now x6258 therefore go x4994 to, speak 559 z8798 to x413 the men 376 of Judah, 3063 and to x5921 the inhabitants 3427 z8802 of Jerusalem, 3389 saying, 559 z8800 Thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 Behold, x2009 I x595 frame 3335 z8802 evil 7451 against x5921 you, and devise 2803 z8802 a device 4284 against x5921 you: return 7725 z8798 ye now x4994 every one 376 from his evil 7451 way, 1870 x4480 and make your ways 1870 and your doings 4611 good. 3190 z8685

 18:12 And they said, 559 z8804 There is no hope: 2976 z8737 but x3588 we will walk y3212 z8799 x1980 after 310 our own devices, 4284 and we will every one 376 do 6213 z8799 the imagination 8307 of his evil 7451 heart. 3820

 18:13 Therefore x3651 thus x3541 saith 559 z8804 the LORD; 3068 Ask 7592 z8798 ye now x4994 among the heathen, 1471 who x4310 hath heard 8085 z8804 such x428 things: the virgin 1330 of Israel 3478 hath done 6213 z8804 a very 3966 horrible thing. 8186

 18:14 Will [a man] leave 5800 z8799 the snow 7950 of Lebanon 3844 [which cometh] from the rock 6697 x4480 of the field? 7704 [or] shall the cold 7119 flowing 5140 z8802 waters 4325 that come from another place 2114 z8801 be forsaken? 5428 z8735

 18:15 Because x3588 my people 5971 hath forgotten 7911 z8804 me, they have burned incense 6999 z8762 to vanity, 7723 and they have caused them to stumble 3782 z8686 in their ways 1870 [from] the ancient 5769 paths, 7635 z8675 to walk y3212 z8800 x1980 in paths, 5410 [in] a way 1870 not x3808 cast up; 5549 z8803

 18:16 To make 7760 z8800 their land 776 desolate, 8047 [and] a perpetual 5769 hissing; 8292 z8675 every one x3605 that passeth 5674 z8802 thereby x5921 shall be astonished, 8074 z8799 and wag 5110 z8686 his head. 7218

 18:17 I will scatter 6327 z8686 them as with an east 6921 wind 7307 before 6440 the enemy; 341 z8802 I will show 7200 z8799 them the back, 6203 and not x3808 the face, 6440 in the day 3117 of their calamity. 343

 18:18 ¶ Then said 559 z8799 they, Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 and let us devise 2803 z8799 devices 4284 against x5921 Jeremiah; 3414 for x3588 the law 8451 shall not x3808 perish 6 z8799 from the priest, 3548 x4480 nor counsel 6098 from the wise, 2450 x4480 nor the word 1697 from the prophet. 5030 x4480 Come, y3212 z8798 x1980 and let us smite 5221 z8686 him with the tongue, 3956 and let us not x408 give heed 7181 z8686 to x413 any x3605 of his words. 1697

 18:19 Give heed 7181 z8685 to x413 me, O LORD, 3068 and hearken 8085 z8798 to the voice 6963 of them that contend 3401 with me.

 18:20 Shall evil 7451 be recompensed 7999 z8792 for x8478 good? 2896 for x3588 they have digged 3738 z8804 a pit 7745 for my soul. 5315 Remember 2142 z8798 that I stood 5975 z8800 before 6440 thee to speak 1696 z8763 good 2896 for x5921 them, [and] to turn away 7725 z8687 x853 thy wrath 2534 from x4480 them.

 18:21 Therefore x3651 deliver up 5414 z8798 x853 their children 1121 to the famine, 7458 and pour out 5064 z8685 their [blood] by x5921 the force 3027 of the sword; 2719 and let their wives 802 be x1961 bereaved y7909 of their children, x7909 and [be] widows; 490 and let their men y582 x376 be x1961 put 2026 z8803 to death; 4194 [let] their young men 970 [be] slain 5221 z8716 by the sword 2719 in battle. 4421

 18:22 Let a cry 2201 be heard 8085 z8735 from their houses, 1004 x4480 when x3588 thou shalt bring 935 z8686 a troop 1416 suddenly 6597 upon x5921 them: for x3588 they have digged 3738 z8804 a pit 7745 z8675 y7882 to take 3920 z8800 me, and hid 2934 z8804 snares 6341 for my feet. 7272

 18:23 Yet, LORD, 3068 thou x859 knowest 3045 z8804 x853 all x3605 their counsel 6098 against x5921 me to slay 4194 [me]: forgive 3722 z8762 not x408 their iniquity, 5771 neither x408 blot out 4229 z8686 their sin 2403 from thy sight, 6440 x4480 but let them be x1961 overthrown 3782 z8716 before 6440 thee; deal 6213 z8798 [thus] with them in the time 6256 of thine anger. 639
