The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:1-10

The blessed parable of the potter and the clay. Few passages of Scripture have been more misread or with sadder results than this one. From St. Paul s reference to it in Romans 9:1-33 it has been thought that it taught the absolute sovereignty of God, his right to dispose of men as he pleases; that, in the exercise of that sovereignty, he makes some vessels unto destruction, and that the vessels so made have no ground of complaint whatsoever. Now, we affirm that, whilst there is much... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:1-10

The clay in the potter's hand. I. THE PURPOSE OF THIS PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION . It is a practical illustration in the most suggestive sense of the word "practical." Jeremiah had not to go out of his way to produce a sufficiently impressive figure of what God was about to do. He had to go through a very peculiar and protracted experience to bring out the lesson of the marred girdle. But here he has only to go down to the potter at his wheel, a thing he could do at any time; and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:6

The potter and the clay. The analogy here instituted enshrines truths that are of universal application. They have their individual quite as much as their national beatings. Nowhere does the representative character of the house of Israel appear mere clearly than in this passage; nowhere do we get a more striking view of the general method of the Divine dealings with the human race. It suggests— I. GOD 'S ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE BEING AND LIFE OF EVERY MAN .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:7-8

At what instant , etc.; rather, One instant I may speak … but if that nation , against which 1 have spoken , turn from their evil , I repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them . A similar rendering for the next verse. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Jeremiah 18:7-10

God's action determined by man's conduct. These verses may be read as balancing those that precede. The illustration of the potter at his work shows us simply the Divine side of life. The following verses take us round to the human side, and the human conditions in accordance with which God exercises the rights and power of his absolute sovereignty. I. GOD DETERMINES HIS ACTION ACCORDING TO THE CONDUCT OF MAN . He does not act blindly, inconsiderately, on. general... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Jeremiah 18:6

So are ye in mine hand - When a vessel was ruined, the potter did not throw it away, but crushed it together, dashed it back upon the wheel, and began his work afresh, until the clay had taken the predetermined shape. It was God’s purpose that Judaea should become the proper scene for the manifestation of the Messiah, and her sons be fit to receive the Saviour’s teaching and carry the good tidings to all lands. If therefore at any stage of the preparation the Jewish nation took such a course as... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Jeremiah 18:6

Jeremiah 18:6. Cannot I do with you as this potter? Have I not as absolute an authority and power over you? Nay, God has an infinitely clearer title to dominion over us than the potter has over the clay, for the potter only gives the clay its form; whereas we have both matter and form from God. As the work of his hands, made and preserved by him, and yet more as sinners redeemed by him, we are entirely in his hands, and at his disposal, and he has an undoubted right to do with us what he... read more

Jeremiah 18:7-8. At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, &c. God speaks thus concerning nations and kingdoms in his word, and by his prophets and ministers. Thus he told Jeremiah 1:10, that he had set him over the nations, to root out and pull down That is, to declare they should be rooted out and pulled down, or to make known the divine purposes concerning them. If that nation, against whom 1 have pronounced, turn, &c., I will repent, &c. Repentance in man... read more
