「以色列家啊，我難道不能像這陶匠一樣對待你們嗎？這是永恆者說的。看哪，泥在陶匠的手中怎樣，以色列家啊，你們在我的手中也是怎樣。
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.
