| 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. | Jer 18:6 Isa 45:9 Ro 9:20-23 |
| 5 | Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, |

| 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; | Jer 1:10 Jer 12:14-17 Jer 25:9-14 Jer 45:4 Am 9:8 Jon 3:4 |
| 8 | if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do to them. | Jer 7:3-7 Jer 36:3 Jg 10:15 Jg 10:16 1Ki 8:33 1Ki 8:34 2Ch 12:6 Isa 1:16-19 Ezk 18:21 Ezk 33:11 Ezk 33:13 Jon 2:5-10 Lk 13:3-5 |
| 9 | At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; | Jer 1:10 Jer 11:17 Jer 30:18 Jer 31:4 Jer 31:28 Jer 31:38 Jer 32:41 Ec 3:2 Am 9:11-15 |
| 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. | Jer 7:23-28 Ps 125:5 Ezk 18:24 Ezk 33:18 Ezk 45:20 Zep 1:6 |
| 11 | Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return you now everyone from his evil way, and amend your ways and your doings. | Gn 11:3 Gn 11:4 Gn 11:7 2Ki 5:5 Isa 5:5 Jm 4:13 Jm 5:1 |
| 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. | Jer 2:25 2Ki 6:33 Isa 57:10 Ezk 37:11 |
| 13 | Therefore thus says Yahweh: Ask you now among the nations, who has heard such things; the virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing. | Jer 2:10-13 |
| 14 | Shall the snow of Lebanon fail from the rock of the field? [or] shall the cold waters that flow down from afar be dried up? | Jn 6:68 |
| 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; | Jer 2:13 Jer 2:19 Jer 2:32 Jer 3:21 Jer 13:25 Jer 17:13 |
| 16 | to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing; everyone who passes thereby shall be astonished, and shake his head. | Jer 9:11 Jer 19:8 Jer 25:9 Jer 49:13 Jer 50:13 Lv 26:33 Lv 26:34 Lv 26:43 Dt 29:23 Isa 6:11 Ezk 6:14 Ezk 12:19 Ezk 33:28 Ezk 33:29 |
| 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. | Jer 13:24 Dt 28:25 Dt 28:64 Jb 27:21 Ps 48:7 Hos 13:15 |
| 18 | Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices 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. | Jer 18:11 Jer 11:19 Ps 21:11 Isa 32:7 Mic 2:1-3 |
| 19 | Give heed to me, Yahweh, and listen to the voice of those who contend with me. | Jer 20:12 Ps 55:16 Ps 55:17 Ps 64:1-4 Ps 56:1-3 Ps 109:4 Ps 109:28 Mic 7:8 Lk 6:11 Lk 6:12 |
| 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. | 1Sa 24:17-19 Ps 35:12 Ps 38:20 Ps 109:4 Ps 109:5 Pr 17:13 Jn 10:32 Jn 15:25 |
