Jeremiah 18 · Grade 3

Making It Again

Name Date

Read the Story

God told Jeremiah to go down to the potter's house. There Jeremiah watched the potter working at his wheel. The pot he was making was marred in his hand.

The potter did not throw the clay away. He made it again into another pot, as seemed good to him. God said his people were like clay in the potter's hand.

God explained that if a nation turns from its evil, he will relent. He wanted his people to return from their evil ways. But they said it was no use. They wanted to follow their own plans. Some people even made plans against Jeremiah.

Memory Verse

“House of Israel, can’t I do with you as this potter?” says Yahweh. “Behold, as the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.
