Jeremiah 18:3 in context

The verses around it, from Jeremiah 18.

1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

2 “Go down at once to the potter’s house, and there I will reveal My message to you.”

3 So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working at the wheel.

4 But the vessel that he was shaping from the clay became flawed in his hand; so he formed it into another vessel, as it seemed best for him to do.

5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

6 “O house of Israel, declares the LORD, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay? Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

7 At any time I might announce that a nation or kingdom will be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed.
