⁸ Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

⁷³ YODH. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

³ Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, That thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, And shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

⁷ every one that is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yea, whom I have made.

⁶ And it repented Jehovah that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

⁷ And Jehovah said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the ground; both man, and beast, and creeping things, and birds of the heavens; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

³ Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he was making a work on the wheels.

⁴ And 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.

⁵ Then the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,

⁶ O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith Jehovah. Behold, as the clay in the potter's hand, so are ye in my hand, O house of Israel.

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;

⁸ if that nation, concerning which I have spoken, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

⁹ And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

¹⁰ if they do that which is evil in my sight, that they obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
