Jeremiah 18-22

[wolfpurplemoon]

Jeremiah likes the clay metaphors, God sees the people of Israel as clay he can mould to his purposes, and a broken clay pot represents what they will be after he's punished them.

Funny that even in Jeremiah's time people who go around saying that the end is nigh were ridiculed, Jeremiah is whining about being a laughingstock although surely he should be more upset by being locked up and tortured by a priest. He does decide that he wishes he'd never been born because his life has totally sucked.

Typical no-win ultimatum from God, stay in Jerusalem and die or leave and surrender to Babylon and live as a slave.
