Jeremiah 19 · Grade 3

A Jar That Could Not Be Fixed

Name Date

Read the Story

God told Jeremiah to buy a potter's clay jar. He was to take some of the elders of the people and the priests with him. They went out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, by the gate.

Jeremiah gave them God's message. The people had forsaken God and followed other gods. They had not listened to him. So trouble was coming to the city.

Then Jeremiah broke the jar while the men watched. God said the city would be broken like a potter's vessel that can't be made whole again. Afterward Jeremiah stood in the court of God's house. He told all the people that they had made their necks stiff and would not hear God's words.

Memory Verse

“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, ‘Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it, because they have made their neck stiff, that they may not hear my words.’”

Jeremiah 19:15 (WEB)
