Jeremiah 18:8-10

New Catholic Bible

⁸ However, should that nation which I have threatened turn away from its evil ways, I will then relent and not inflict the disaster I had devised. ⁹ On another occasion I may promise to build up and plant a nation or kingdom. ¹⁰ However, if that nation follows an evil path and refuses to obey me, then I will cease to bestow upon it the blessings that I had promised.
