Jeremiah 18:8 in Context — Jeremiah 18

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.

9 Et soudain je parle, sur une nation, sur un royaume, De bâtir et de planter;

10 Mais si cette nation fait ce qui est mal à mes yeux, Et n’écoute pas ma voix, Je me repens du bien que j’avais eu l’intention de lui faire.
