Jeremiah 18

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,

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

2 "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to 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 Then I went down to the potter's house, and look, he was making a work on the wheels.

And I went down [the] house of the potter (and there! he *Q(K)*) [was] doing work on the stones.

4 When the vessel that he made of the clay was marred in the hand of the potter, he made it again another vessel, as 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 YHWH came to me, saying,

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

6 "'House of Israel, can't I do with you as this potter?' says YHWH. 'Look, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are you in my hand, house of 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 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy 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 that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will change my mind about the disaster that I thought 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 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

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

10 if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they not obey my voice, then I will repent of the good, with which I said I would benefit 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 Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says YHWH: Look, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return now everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings.'

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 say, 'It is in vain; for we will walk after our own devices, and we will do everyone after the stubbornness 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 YHWH: "Ask now among the nations, who has heard such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible 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 Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? Shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up?

¿ 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 burned incense to false gods; and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk in byways, in a way not built 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 to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished, and shake 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 scatter them as with an east wind before the enemy; I will show them the back, and not the face, in the day of their calamity."

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 make plans against Jeremiah; 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 let us not give heed to any of 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 "Give heed to me, YHWH, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me.

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

20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? For they have dug a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before you 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 deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and their young men struck of the sword in battle.

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 be heard from their houses, when you shall bring a troop suddenly on them; for they have dug a pit to take me, and hid snares for my feet.

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 Yet, YHWH, you know all their counsel against me to kill me; do not forgive their iniquity, neither blot out their sin from your sight; but let them be overthrown before you; deal you with them in the time of your anger."

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.
