This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jer_18:2 Arise, and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.
Ver. 2. Arise, and go down to the potter’s house.] Whether the prophet was to go actually to the potter’s house, or in vision only, it matters not. This we know, that our Saviour did actually wash his disciples’ feet, and at another time set a child in the midst of them when they were striving about the primacy, expounding to them afterwards what he meant; and so it might well be here. It may not be amiss for us to go down oft with Jeremiah to the potter’s house in our meditations - to consider, I mean, our original, Kåñáìïò ï áíèñùðïò ; as the "first man, Adam, was of the earth earthy," so are we ex lute lutei, from the clay, clayish.
