Jeremiah 18:7-10

New King James Version

⁷ The instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to ^(A)pluck up, to pull down, and to destroy it, ^8 (B)if that nation against whom I have spoken turns from its evil, ^(C)I will relent of the disaster that I thought to bring upon it. ⁹ And the instant I speak concerning a nation and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it, ¹⁰ if it does evil in My sight so that it does not obey My voice, then I will relent concerning the good with which I said I would benefit it.
