Jeremiah 18
1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
2 Up! go down to the potter's house, and there I will let my words come to your ears.
Arise and you will go down [the] house of the potter and there I will cause to hear you words my.
3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and he was doing his work on the stones.
And I went down [the] house of the potter (and there! he *Q(K)*) [was] doing work on the stones.
4 And when the vessel, which he was forming out of earth, got damaged in the hand of the potter, he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it.
And it was spoiled the vessel which he [was] making with the clay in [the] hand of the potter and he would return and he made it a vessel another just as it was pleasing in [the] eyes of the potter to do.
5 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
6 O Israel, am I not able to do with you as this potter does? says the Lord. See, like earth in the potter's hand are you in my hands, O Israel.
¿ Like the potter this not am I able to do to you O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh here! like the clay in [the] hand of the potter so you [are] in hand my O house of Israel.
7 Whenever I say anything about uprooting a nation or a kingdom, and smashing it and sending destruction on it;
A moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy.
8 If, in that very minute, that nation of which I was talking is turned away from its evil, my purpose of doing evil to them will be changed.
And it will turn away the nation that from evil its which I had spoken on it and I will relent on the calamity which I had planned to do to it.
9 And whenever I say anything about building up a nation or a kingdom, and planting it;
And a moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to build up and to plant.
10 If, in that very minute, it does evil in my eyes, going against my orders, then my good purpose, which I said I would do for them, will be changed.
And it will do (the evil *Q(K)*) in view my to not to listen to voice my and I will relent on the good which I had said to do good to it.
11 Now, then, say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am forming an evil thing against you, and designing a design against you: let every man come back now from his evil way, and let your ways and your doings be changed for the better.
And therefore say please to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh here! I [am] about to fashion on you calamity and [am] about to plan on you a plan turn back please everyone from way his wicked and make good ways your and deeds your.
12 But they will say, There is no hope: we will go on in our designs, and every one of us will do what he is moved by the pride of his evil heart to do.
And they say despairing for after own plans our we will walk and everyone [the] stubbornness of heart his wicked we will act.
13 So this is what the Lord has said: Make search among the nations and see who has had word of such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very shocking thing.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh ask please among the nations who? has he heard like these [things] a horrible [thing] she has done exceedingly [the] virgin of Israel.
14 Will the white snow go away from the top of Sirion? will the cold waters flowing from the mountains become dry?
¿ Does it leave from [the] rock of [the] field [the] snow of Lebanon or? are they plucked up waters strange cool flowing.
15 For my people have put me out of their memory, burning perfumes to that which is nothing; and because of this, I will put a cause of falling in their ways, even in the old roads, and will make them go on side-roads, in a way not lifted up;
For they have forgotten me people my to falsehood they make smoke and they have caused to stumble them in ways their paths of antiquity to walk paths a way not built up.
16 Making their land a thing of wonder, causing sounds of surprise for ever; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, shaking his head.
To make land their into a waste (whistling of *Q(K)*) perpetuity every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may wag with head his.
17 I will send them in flight, as from an east wind, before the attacker; I will let them see my back and not my face on the day of their downfall.
Like a wind of [the] east I will scatter them before an enemy back and not face I will show them on [the] day of disaster their.
18 Then they said, Come, let us make a design against Jeremiah; for teaching will never be cut off from the priest, or wisdom from the wise, or the word from the prophet. Come, let us make use of his words for an attack on him, and let us give attention with care to what he says.
And people said come so let us plan on Jeremiah plans for not it will be lost instruction from [the] priest and counsel from [the] wise and word from [the] prophet come and let us attack him with the tongue and may not we pay attention to all words his.
19 Give thought to me, O Lord, and give ear to the voice of those who put forward a cause against me.
Be attentive! O Yahweh to me and listen to [the] voice of opponents my.
20 Is evil to be the reward of good? for they have made a deep hole for my soul. Keep in mind how I took my place before you, to say a good word for them so that your wrath might be turned away from them.
¿ Will it be repaid in place of good evil for they have dug a pit for self my remember - standing my before you to speak on them good to turn back rage your from them.
21 For this cause, let their children be without food, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be without children and become widows; let their men be overtaken by death, and their young men be put to the sword in the fight.
Therefore give children their to famine and pour them over [the] hands of [the] sword so they may become wives their childless and widows and men their may they be [the] slain of death young men their [those] struck down of [the] sword in battle.
22 Let a cry for help go up from their houses, when you send an armed band on them suddenly: for they have made a hole in which to take me, and have put nets for my feet secretly.
May it be heard a cry of distress from houses their if you will bring on them a marauding band suddenly for they have dug (a pit *Q(K)*) to capture me and snares they have hidden for feet my.
23 But you, Lord, have knowledge of all the designs which they have made against my life; let not their evil-doing be covered or their sin be washed away from before your eyes: but let it be a cause of falling before you: so do to them in the time of your wrath.
And you O Yahweh you know all plan their on me for death may not you atone on iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not you wipe out (and let them be *Q(K)*) overthrown before you in [the] time of anger your do with them.
