Hi Longhorn,

CLV
Jer 18:4 and marred is the vessel that he is making, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he has turned and he makes it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make."

As you can see the CLV uses the word "marred," but here are a few translations that do use other words to compare.

RSV
Jer 18:4  And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.

MKJV
Jer 18:4  And the vessel that he made in clay was ruined in the hand of the potter; so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

mercy, peace and love
Kat
