“Tidak dapatkah Aku berbuat kepada kalian seperti tukang periuk ini, hai kaum Israel? demikianlah firman Yang Mahakekal. Lihatlah, seperti tanah liat di tangan tukang periuk, demikianlah kalian di tangan-Ku, hai kaum Israel.
Metzudat David
Can I (Hashem) not do with you (Jews) like the potter does with the clay? He makes from it a different vessel after he has destroyed the first.
Metzudat David
Really, like the clay is in the potters hands to do with it as he wants, you are in my (Hashem's) hands.
