SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]



     Explanation: Jeremiah 18 emphasizes God's almighty power to mar and to form and to judge or deliver. At the beginning of the chapter the LORD sent Jeremiah to the potter's house to learn an object lesson; while Jeremiah was there the potter marred the vessel he was working on and fashioned it into another vessel (1-4).
     Then the LORD told Jeremiah (and the house of Israel) that he could do with Israel as the potter did to the clay; but if a nation would repent when he pronounced judgment against it he would relent; or if a nation turned to evil when he promised good to it, he would bring judgment upon it; therefore he sent Jeremiah to pronounce judgment and to deliver a call to repentance (5-11).
     But the people said there is no hope, so they decided to walk in their own way and in their own imaginations (12).
     Therefore, the LORD compared the people to those who forsake refreshing water and burn incense to vanity, who stumble out of the ancient paths, who are in a desolate land, who will be scattered before the enemy (13-17).
     They devised plots against Jeremiah and refused to listen to his words (18).
     So Jeremiah prayed to the LORD for judgment upon the people who returned evil for good when he interceded for their deliverance (19-20).
     He asked that famine, sword, bereavement, crying, and armies would come upon them (21-22).
     They dug a pit for Jeremiah; so he asked that they be unforgiven and overthrown (23).

RESOURCES

PLEASE NOTE: Use the resources on this and other sites thoughtfully, particularly the commentaries and encyclopedias. I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.

a]. The LORD Will Shape Israel's Destiny as the Potter Shapes Clay (18:1-23)



     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 [this] my words. 3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels. 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 seemed good to the potter to make it.

     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 mine hand, O house of Israel. 7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them. 11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

     12 And they said, There is no hope: but we will walk after our own devices, and we will every one do the imagination of his evil heart.



     18 Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

19 Give heed to me, O LORD,
and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
20 Shall evil be recompensed for good?
for they have digged a pit for my soul.
Remember that I stood before thee
to speak good for them,
and to turn away [this] thy wrath from them.
21 Therefore deliver up [this] their children to the famine,
and pour out their blood by the force of the sword;
and let their wives
be bereaved of their children,
and be widows;
and let their men be put to death;
let their young men be slain by the sword in battle.
22 Let a cry be heard from their houses,
when thou shalt bring a troop suddenly upon them:
for they have digged a pit to take me,
and hid snares for my feet.
23 Yet, LORD, thou knowest [this] all their counsel against me to slay me:
forgive not their iniquity,
neither blot out their sin from thy sight,
but let them be overthrown before thee;
deal thus with them in the time of thine anger.
