8 But now, O LORD, 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 vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21 If a man therefore will cleanse himself from these, he shall be a vessel to honour, sanctified, and fit for the master’s use, and prepared to every good work.

9 Woe to him that contendeth with his Maker! Let the potsherd contend with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

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

34 Wail, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye chief of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are accomplished; and ye shall fall like a pleasant vessel. the days…: Heb. your days for slaughtera pleasant…: Heb. a vessel of desire

23 Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross.

9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing formed say of him that formed it, He had no understanding?

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? repliest…: or, answerest again, or, disputest with God?

21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honour, and another to dishonour?

1 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

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

3 Then I went down to the potter’s house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. wheels: or, frames, or, seats

4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it. of clay…: or, was marred, as clay in the hand of the pottermade it…: Heb. returned and made, etc

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

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

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