		- "O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" declares the LORD. "Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel.
 - If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed,
 - and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned.
 - And if at another time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be built up and planted,
 - and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it.
