And the vessel that he made of (a) clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make [it].
(a) As the potter has power over the clay to make what pot he will, or to break them, when he has made them: so have I power over you to do with you as seems good to me, (Isaiah 45:9; Romans 9:20-21).
