1. This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2. ‘Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.’
3. So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel.
4. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.
5. Then the word of the Lord came to me.
