Jeremiah 18:4 in Context — Jeremiah 18

2 Lève-toi, et descends dans la maison du potier; Là, je te ferai entendre mes paroles.

3 Je descendis dans la maison du potier, Et voici, il travaillait sur un tour.

4 Le vase qu’il faisait ne réussit pas, Comme il arrive à l’argile dans la main du potier; Il en refit un autre vase, Tel qu’il trouva bon de le faire.

5 Et la parole de l’Éternel me fut adressée, en ces mots:

6 Ne puis-je pas agir envers vous comme ce potier, maison d’Israël? Dit l’Éternel. Voici, comme l’argile est dans la main du potier, Ainsi vous êtes dans ma main, maison d’Israël!
