1 The Davar which came to Yirmeyah from Hashem, saying,
2 Arise, and go down to the bais hayotzer (the house of the potter, Creator), and there I will cause thee to hear My Devar.
3 Then I went down to the bais hayotzer, and, behold, he wrought a work on the [potter's] wheel.
4 And the keli (vessel) that he was making of khomer (clay) was marred in the yad of the yotzer; so he made it again keli acher (another vessel, a different vessel), as seemed good to the eyes of the yotzer to make it.
5 Then the Devar Hashem came to me, saying,
6 O Bais Yisroel, cannot I do with you as this yotzer? saith Hashem. Hinei, as the khomer (clay) is in the yotzer's yad, so are ye in Mine yad, O Bais Yisroel.
