Chap. XVIII.
note
As clay in the hand of a potter, so is Israel in Gods hand. 8. He pardoneth
penitents, 10. and punisheth the obstinate. 18. They conspire
against Ieremie, for which he denounceth miseries hanging ouer them.
1 The word that was made to Ieremie from our Lord, saying:
2 Arise and goe downe into the potters house, and
there thou shalt heare my wordes.
3 And I went downe into
the potters house, and behold he made a worke vpon the
wheele.
4 And the vessel was broken which he made of clay
with his handes: and turning note he made it an other vessel, as
it pleased in his eies to make it.
5 And the word of our Lord
was made to me, saying:
6 Why, shal I not be able to doe vnto
you, as this potter, ô house of Israel? Behold, saith our Lord,
as clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, ô
house of Israel.
7 I wil sodenly speake against nation, and against
kingdom, to roote out, and destroy, and wast it.
8 If
that nation shal repent them of their euil, against whom I
haue spoken: I also wil repent me of the euil, that I haue
thought to doe to it.
9 And I wil sodenly speake of nation and
of kingdom, to build and plant it.
10 If it shal do euil in mine
eies, that it heare not my voice: I wil repent me of the good
that I haue spoken to do vnto it.
11 Now therefore tel the
man of Iuda, and the inhabitantes of Ierusalem, saying: Thus
saith our Lord: Behold I forge euil against you, and deuise a
deuice against you: let euerie man returne from his euil way,
and direct ye your waies and your studies.
12 Who said: We are
desperate: for we wil goe after our cogitations, and we wil
-- --
do euerie one the peruersitie of his euil hart.
13 Therefore
thus saith our Lord: Aske the Nations: Who hath heard such
horrible thinges, as the virgine of Israel hath done exceedingly?
14 Why shal the snow of Libanus faile from the rocke
of the field? or can the cold waters gushing forth and runing
downe, be drawen out?
15 Because my people hath forgotten
me, sacrificing in vaine, and stumbling in their waies, in the
pathes of the world, that they might walke by them in a way
not trodden:
16 that their land might be made into desolation,
and into an euerlasting hisse: euerie one that shal passe by it,
shal be astonied, and wagge his head.
17 As the burning winde
wil I disperse them before the enemie: the backe, and not the
face wil. I shew them in the day of their perdition.
18 And
they said: note Come, and let vs finde deuises against Ieremie:
for the law shal not perish from the priest, nor counsel from
the wise, nor the word from the prophet: come, and let vs
strike him with the tongue, and let vs not attend to al his
wordes.
19 Attend ô Lord vnto me, and heare the voice of
mine aduersaries.
20 Why, is euil rendred for good, because
they haue digged a pitte for my soule? Remember that I haue
stood in the sight, to speake good for them, and to returne
away their indignation from them.
21 Therefore geue their
children into famine, and lead them into the handes of the
sword: let their wiues be made without children, & widowes:
and let the husbands be killed by death: let their youngmen
be pearced through with the sword in battel.
22 Let a crie be
heard out of their houses, for thou shalt bring the robber
vpon them sodenly: because they haue digged a pitte to take
me, and haue hid snares for my feete.
23 But thou ô Lord
knowest al their counsel against me vnto death: be not propicious
to their iniquitie, & let not their sinne be cleane put out
from thy face: let them be made falling in thy sight, in the
time of thy furie deale with them.
