Jeremias 18

1 The word that came from the Lord to

The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.

2 Jeremias, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there you shall hear my words.

Arise and you will go down [the] house of the potter and there I will cause to hear you words my.

3 So I went down to the potter's house, and behold, he was making a vessel 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 the vessel which he was making with his hands fell: so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed good to him 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 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

6 Shall I not be able, O house of Israel, to do to you as this potter? behold, as the clay of the potter are you in my hands.

¿ 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 [If] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation, or upon a kingdom, to cut them off, and to destroy [them];

A moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy.

8 and that nation turn from all their sins, then will I repent of the evils which I purposed to do to them.

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 [if] I shall pronounce a decree upon a nation and kingdom, to rebuild and to plant [it];

And a moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to build up and to plant.

10 and they do evil before me, so as not to listen to my voice, then will I repent of the good which I spoke of, to do it to them.

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 And now say to the men of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Behold, I prepare evils against you, and devise a device against you: let every one turn now from his evil way, and amend your practices.

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 And they said, We will quit ourselves like men, for we will pursue our perverse ways, and we will perform each the lusts of his evil heart.

And they say despairing for after own plans our we will walk and everyone [the] stubbornness of heart his wicked we will act.

13 Therefore thus says the Lord; Enquire now among the nations, who has heard such very horrible things as the virgin of Israel has done?

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 fertilising streams fail [to flow] from a rock, or snow [fail] from Libanus? will water violently impelled by the wind turn aside?

¿ 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 forgotten me, they have offered incense in vain, and they fail in their ways, [leaving] the ancient tracks, to enter upon impassable paths;

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 to make their land a desolation, and a perpetual hissing; all that go through it shall be amazed, and shall shake their heads.

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 scatter them before their enemies like an east wind; I will show them the day of their destruction.

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, and let us devise a device against Jeremias; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us strike him with the tongue, and we will hear all his words.

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 Hear me, O Lord, and hear the voice of my pleading.

Be attentive! O Yahweh to me and listen to [the] voice of opponents my.

20 Forasmuch as evil is rewarded for good; for they have spoken words against my soul, and they have hidden the punishment they [meant] for me; remember that I stood before your face, to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath 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 Therefore do you deliver their sons to famine, and gather them to the power of the sword: let their women be childless and widows; and let their men be cut off by death, and their young men fall by the sword in war.

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 there be a cry in their houses: you shall bring upon them robbers suddenly: for they have formed a plan to take me, and have hidden snares for me.

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 And you, Lord, know all their deadly counsel against me: account not their iniquities guiltless, and blot not out their sins from before you: let their weakness come before you; deal with 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.
