Vaso

8 And now, Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

20 But in a great house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also wooden and earthen; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21 If therefore one shall have purified himself from these, {in separating himself from them}, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, serviceable to the Master, prepared for every good work.

9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let a potsherd {strive} with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that formeth it, What makest thou? Or thy work, He hath no hands?

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the surpassingness of the power may be of God, and not from us:

34 Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves {in the dust}, noble ones of the flock: for the days of your slaughter are accomplished, and I will disperse you; and ye shall fall like a precious vessel.

23 Ardent lips, and a wicked heart, are {as} an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross.

16 {Oh} your perverseness! -Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay, so that the work should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?

20 Aye, but thou, O man, who art *thou* that answerest again to God? Shall the thing formed say to him that has formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

21 Or has not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?

1 The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

2 Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

3 And I went down to the potter's house; and behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

4 And the vessel that he made was marred, as clay, in the hand of the potter; and he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make.

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

6 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, house of Israel.

2 The sons of Zion, so precious, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
