Jeremiah 18

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

13 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 ¿ Does it leave from [the] rock of [the] field [the] snow of Lebanon or? are they plucked up waters strange cool flowing.

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

20 ¿ 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 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 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 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.
