1 God spoke to Jeremiah. ️ 2 God said, Go to the pot maker’s house. I will talk to you there. 3 Jeremiah went. A pot maker was making a pot on a wheel. ♂️ 4 The clay pot broke, so the pot maker made it again into a new pot. ➡️ 5 God spoke to Jeremiah again. ️ 6 God said, Israel, I am like the pot maker. You are like clay in My hand. I can make. I can fix. ✋ 7 God said, I can say I will tear down a land. ⚠️️ 8 But if the land stops doing bad, I will stop the bad plan and not bring harm. ❌ 9 I can say I will build and plant a land. 10 But if the land does bad and will not listen, I will stop the good plan. ❌ 11 God said, Tell Judah and Jerusalem: I have a hard plan for you. Turn back now. Do good. ️↩️ 12 But the people said, No. We will do what we want. We will keep our bad hearts. ♂️ 13 God said, Ask the nations: Has Israel done a very bad thing? Yes, they have. ❓ 14 Do people leave cool snow water from big hills? No, they do not. ️❄️ 15 My people forgot Me. They bow to fake gods. They left the old good path and walk on wrong paths. ️ 16 Their land will be empty. People who pass by will see and shake their heads. ️♂️ 17 I will blow them away like a strong wind before the enemy. I will turn My back, not My face, when trouble comes. ️♂️⚔️ 18 The people said, Come, let us make a bad plan on Jeremiah. We will say mean words and not listen. ️ 19 Jeremiah said, God, please listen to me. Hear how they fight me. 20 Jeremiah said, I did good for them, but they do bad to me. They dug a trap for me. I prayed for them to You. ️ 21 So let hard times come to them. Let food run out. Let the dads die in war. Let the moms be alone. ❌⚔️ 22 Let them cry when an army comes fast, for they set a pit and traps for me. 23 God, You know their bad plan to kill me. Do not forgive them. Judge them when You are angry. ️️
