2 Levántate, y vete á casa del alfarero, y allí te haré oir mis palabras.

3 Y descendí á casa del alfarero, y he aquí que él hacía obra sobre la rueda.

4 Y el vaso que él hacía de barro se quebró en la mano del alfarero; y tornó é hízolo otro vaso, según que al alfarero pareció mejor hacerlo.

5 Entonces fué á mí palabra de Jehová, diciendo:

6 ¿No podré yo hacer de vosotros como este alfarero, oh casa de Israel, dice Jehová? He aquí que como el barro en la mano del alfarero, así sois vosotros en mi mano, oh casa de Israel.
