¶ The .xviii. Chapter.
¶ God sheweth, by the example of a potter, that it is
in hys power to destroye the despysers of hys worde
and to helpe them agayne when they amend. The conspiracye
of the Iewes agaynst Ieremy. His prayer
agaynst hys aduersaryes.
A This is another communicacion, that
God had with Ieremy, saying: Aryse,
and goo downe into the Potters
house, and there shall I tell the more of my
mynde. Now when I cam to the Potters
house, I founde hym makynge his worcke
vpon a whele. The vessell that the Potter
made of claye, brake am&obar;ge his handes: So
be beganne a new, and made another vessel
accordynge to his mynde. Then sayde the
Lorde thus vnto me. noteMaye not I do with
you, as this Potter doth, O ye house of Israel,
sayeth the Lorde? Beholde, ye house of
Israel: ye are in my hande, eu&ebar; as the claye
in the Potters hande.
B noteWhen I take in hande to rote out, to
destroye, or to waste awaye eny people or
kyngdome note yf that people (agaynst whom
I haue thus deuysed) conuerte from theyr
wyckednes: I rep&ebar;te of the plage, that I deuysed
to brynge vpon them. noteAgayne, wh&ebar;
I take in hande, to buylde, or to plante a
people or a kyngdom: yf the same people do
euell before me, and heare not my voyce: I
repente of the good, þt; I deuise to do for th&ebar;:
Speake now therfore vnto whole Iuda:
and to them that dwell at Ierusal&ebar;. Thus
-- --
sayeth the Lorde: Beholde, I am deuisyng
a plage for you, and am takynge a thing in
hande agaynst you.
noteTherfore let euery man turne from his
euell waye, take vpon you þe; thynge that is
good, and do right. But they sayde. Nomore
of this note we wyll folowe oure awne ymaginacions,
and do euery man accordynge to
the wylfulnesse of his awne mynde.
C Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde. Aske amonge
the Heathen, yf eny man hath herde
soch horryble thynges, as the daughter of
Sion hath done. Shall not the snowe (that
melteth vpon the stony rockes of Libanus)
moysten the feldes? Or maye the sprynges
of waters be so grau&ebar; awaye, that they r&ubar;ne
nomore, geue moystnesse, ner make frutefull?
But my people hath so forgotten me,
that they haue made sacryfyce vnto vayne
Goddes. And theyr prophetes make them
fal in theyr wayes fr&obar; the auncy&ebar;t pathes,
&abar;d to go into a fote waye not vsed to be troden
of iust men. Where thorowe they haue
brought their l&abar;de into an euerlastyng wildernesse
∧ scorne. noteSo þt; whosoeuer trauayleth
therby, shalbe abashed, ∧ wagge theyr
heades. With an East wynde wyll I scatre
th&ebar;, before their enemie. And when their destruccion
commeth, I wyll turne my backe
vpon th&ebar;, but not my face. Then sayde they
note come, let vs ymagen somthynge agaynst
this Ieremye. For &rhand; the prestes shall not
be destitute of þe; lawe, nether shall the wysemen
de destitute of councel, ner þe; prophetes
destitute of the worde of God. Come, and
&rhand; let vs smyte him with the tong, and let
vs marke all his wordes. Consydre me, O
Lord,
D and heare the voyce of myne enemies
note shall they recompence euell for good? for
they haue digged a pit for my soule. noteRem&ebar;bre,
howe that I stode before the, to speake
good for them, ∧ to turne awaye thy wrath
from them.
noteTherfore let their children dye of hunger,
&abar;d let them be oppressed wyth the swearde.
Let their wiues be robbed of their children,
and become wyddowes: let their husbandes
be slayne, let their yonge m&ebar; be kylled
with the swearde in the felde. Lett the
noyse be herde out of their houses, when the
murtherer commeth sodenly vpon them.
noteFor they haue dygged a pyt to take me, ∧
layed snares for my fete. Yet Lorde, þu; knowest
all their councell, that they haue deuised,
to slaye me. Forgeue not their wyckednes,
and let not their sinne be put out of thy
syght: but let them be iudged before the as
the gyltie: This shalt thou do vnto them in
the tyme of thy indignacion.
