Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.

But now, O Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hand.

And yet, O Lord, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.

Yet LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we all are the work of your hands.

But now, Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter, And all of us are the work of Your hand.

But now, O Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all we are the work of Your hand.

But now, O Jehovah, thou art our Father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Yet Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are our potter; we all are the work of Your hands.

But now, O LORD, thou[ art] our father; we[ are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all[ are] the work of thy hand.

Yet, LORD, you are our father. We are the clay, and you are our potter; we are all the product of your labor.

They turn everything upside down. How silly they are to think that potters are like the clay they work with! Can what is made say to the one who made it,“ You didn’t make me”? Can the pot say to the potter,“ You don’t know anything”?

“ Jeremiah, go down to the potter’s house. I will give you my message there.”So I went down to the potter’s house. I saw him working at his wheel.His hands were shaping a pot out of clay. But he saw that something was wrong with it. So he formed it into another pot. He shaped it in the way that seemed best to him.Then the Lord’ s message came to me.“ People of Israel, I can do with you just as this potter does,” announces the Lord.“ The clay is in the potter’s hand. And you are in my hand, people of Israel.

We are God’s creation. He created us to belong to Christ Jesus. Now we can do good works. Long ago God prepared these works for us to do.

How terrible it will be for anyone who argues with their Maker! They are like a broken piece of pottery lying on the ground. Does clay say to a potter,“ What are you making?” Does a pot say,“ The potter doesn’t have any skill”?

Know that the Lord is God. He made us, and we belong to him. We are his people. We are the sheep belonging to his flock.

You are our Father. Abraham might not accept us as his children. Jacob might not recognize us as his family. But you are our Father, Lord. Your name is One Who Always Sets Us Free.

Bring back everyone who belongs to me. I created them to bring glory to me. I formed them and made them.”

Lord, you will show that I was right to trust you. Lord, your faithful love continues forever. You have done so much for us, so don’t stop now.

You made me and formed me with your own hands. Give me understanding so that I can learn your commands.

The Lord says,“ Family of Jacob, remember these things. People of Israel, you are my servant. I have made you. You are my servant. Israel, I will not forget you.

The Lord says,“ People of Israel, I set you free. I formed you when you were born as a nation.“ I am the Lord. I am the Maker of everything. I alone stretch out the heavens. I spread out the earth by myself.

But you are a mere human being. So who are you to talk back to God? Scripture says,“ Can what is made say to the one who made it,‘ Why did you make me like this?’ ”( Isaiah 29:16; 45:9)Isn’t the potter free to make different kinds of pots out of the same lump of clay? Some are for special purposes. Others are for ordinary use.What if God chose to show his great anger? What if he chose to make his power known? But he put up with the people he was angry with. They were made to be destroyed.What if he put up with them to show the riches of his glory to other people? Those other people are the ones he shows his mercy to. He made them to receive his glory.We are those people. He has chosen us. We do not come only from the Jewish race. Many of us are not Jews.

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God by believing in Christ.

“‘ Your hands shaped me and made me. So are you going to destroy me now?Remember, you molded me like clay. So are you going to turn me back into dust?

Is that how you thank the Lord? You aren’t wise. You are foolish. Remember, he’s your Father. He’s your Creator. He made you. He formed you.

You who belong to Christ are Abraham’s seed. So you will receive what God has promised.

Then say to Pharaoh,‘ The Lord says,“ Israel is like an oldest son to me.
