Commentary for Jeremiah 18:7
רֶ֣גַע אֲדַבֵּ֔ר עַל־גּ֖וֹי וְעַל־מַמְלָכָ֑ה לִנְת֥וֹשׁ וְלִנְת֖וֹץ וּֽלְהַאֲבִֽיד׃
At one instant I may speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up and to break down and to destroy it;
Malbim on Jeremiah
Like in the Mashal, the breaking of the vessel was in an instant, and only to fix it innto something new, so to Hashem only destroys for the purpose of the fixing
