Jeremiah Chapter 19

By Christopher Gillespie August 30, 2026 · Edited August 30, 2026

Last week the Lord sent Jeremiah to the potter's house to watch wet clay wadded up and made again. This week He sends him to buy a finished flask — fired, narrow-necked, the kind that cannot be mended — and to carry it through the Potsherd Gate to the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, where Judah burned its sons to Baal, a thing God says never came into His mind. Before the elders and the priests he smashes it on the ground, and the word with the shards is that it "cannot be made whole again" — the Hebrew is healed (Jer. 19:11).
