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.

The verse 4 is found in chapter 18 of Jeremiah. At the potter’s house Jeremiah observes how clay is reshaped according to the craftsman’s will. God explicitly applies the image to Israel: a nation can be transformed if it repents, and a sentence can be withdrawn if its conduct changes. The metaphor emphasizes God’s sovereignty without making the people passive objects, because their moral response matters.
