Jeremiah
18:7-11 (NKJV)
[9] And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it,
[10] if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.
[11] Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, “Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now everyone from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.”
[7]
The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up,
to pull down, and to destroy it,
[8]
if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of
the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. [9] And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it,
[10] if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.
[11] Now therefore, speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, “Thus says the Lord: “Behold, I am fashioning a disaster and devising a plan against you. Return now everyone from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.”
