Jeremiah 18:6 in Context — Jeremiah 18
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!
7 Soudain je parle, sur une nation, sur un royaume, D’arracher, d’abattre et de détruire;
8 Mais si cette nation, sur laquelle j’ai parlé, revient de sa méchanceté, Je me repens du mal que j’avais pensé lui faire.
