Jeremiah 18:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ Then the Lord spoke his word to me: ⁶ “Family of Israel, can’t I do the same thing with you?” says the Lord. “You are in my hands like the clay in the potter’s hands. ⁷ There may come a time when I will speak about a nation or a kingdom that I will pull up by its roots or that I will pull down to destroy it.
