This is set forth in the beginning of the Chapter, by ocular demonstration. God bids Jeremiah Arise and go down to the Potters house, &c. them,1 and when he came there, he beheld the Potter making a Vessel of clay, and breaking it, and making it again another Vessel,2 as seemed good to the Potter to make it. And God himself makes the application; Oh House of Israel, cannot I do with you as this Potter, saith the3 Lord? Cannot I make you Vessels of honour, or dishonour? cannot I save ⟨p. 4⟩you, or destroy you as I please? Behold, as the clay is in the Potters hand, so are ye in mine hand▪ O House of Israel. Because Nebuchadnezzar would not confess this truth, he was driven to school to the beasts of the field, and he had the heart of an Ox, till he acknowledged, that God doth whatsoever he will in the Army of Heaven,4 and among the inhabitants of the earth, and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What dost thou?
