Jeremiah 18:
God spoke to Jeremiah in the
potter's house that he could mould Israel like the potter's best work. As
God, if God says a kingdom should be destroyed and they repent, he will forgive.
Also, if God says that a nation should be built and they do evil, I will destroy
them. Let Judah know that God plans disaster for each of the citizens, but
Judah will never repent because they enjoy their evil ways. Jeremiah begs
God to punish Judah severely because they plan to kill him.
Jeremiah 19:
God
tells Jeremiah to take some priests and elders of Judah to a potter's house to
buy a clay jar. God said he was going to destroy and bring disaster to the
people and land because of their idol worship and spilling of innocent blood.
God then told Jeremiah to smash the jar in the presences of those with him and
say that God will smash Judah and Jerusalem beyond repair like this clay pot. |

Jeremiah 20:
One of the priest beat
Jeremiah and arrested him. As soon as he was released the next day,
Jeremiah told the priest that God has changed his name. The priest's name
was now terror that would befall Judah from every side. God told the
priest through Jeremiah that all the treasures, valuables, and produces of Judah
will be carried off to Babylon. Many would fall by the sword, but the
Priest as well as his family, will be enslaved in Babylon until death.
