Bible: Jeremiah 18:6-8
18:6 “I, the Lord , say: 1 ‘O nation of Israel, can I not deal with you as this potter deals with the clay? 2 In my hands, you, O nation of Israel, are just like the clay in this potter’s hand.’ 18:7 There are times, Jeremiah, 3 when I threaten to uproot, tear down, and destroy a nation or kingdom. 4 18:8 But if that nation I threatened stops doing wrong, 5 I will cancel the destruction 6 I intended to do to it.
