(Rome 9:21)
1 Dis anodda message fo Jeremiah from Da One In Charge: 2 “Go down by da house a da guy dat make clay pots. Wen you get dea, I goin tell you someting.” 3 So I go down by da house a da guy dat make clay pots. I see he stay work wit da wheel fo make pots. 4 But kapulu da way he make dis pot wit his hands, so he make one diffren pot wit da same wet clay, da way he tink mo betta.
5 Den Da One In Charge give me dis message: 6 “You Israel peopo, how come you guys tink I no can make wit you guys jalike dis guy make wit da clay pot?! Fo me, you guys jalike da clay dis guy use fo make clay pots wit his hands. 7 If bumbye I tell dat I goin pull out one peopo o one king an his peopo from da land, an wipe um out, 8 an if dose peopo dat I tell, change an come sorry fo da bad kine stuff dey wen do, an no do um no moa, den I goin tink diffren, an I no goin do to dem all da bad kine stuff dat I wen plan fo do to dem befoa.
9 “An if anodda time I tell dat I goin make one peopo o one king an his peopo come strong, 10 but if dey start fo do bad kine stuff da way I see um, an no lissen wat I tell, den I goin tink one mo time bout if I goin do da good tings dat I wen tell I was goin do befo time.
11 “Az why you gotta tell all dis to all da Judah peopo an da Jerusalem peopo: ‘Dis da message from Da One In Charge: Watch out! I da One stay make ready all da bad kine stuff goin happen to you guys. I da One stay make one plan agains you guys. All you guys betta not do da bad kine stuff no moa, an betta change how all you guys ack.’ 12 But da peopo goin tell: ‘Laytas wit dat! All us guys goin do wat us like do! All us guys hard head an no mo one good heart, an we goin stay lidat!’ ”
13 Az why Da One In Charge tell dis:
“Aks all da peopos,
You guys hear somebody talk lidis, o wat?!

But now, dey do one real real bad kine ting.

15 But my peopo, dey not like da watta from da mountains!
Dey no give a rip bout me.

No matta da idol kine gods make my peopo

Erybody dat go by dea goin come bum out.
Dey goin shake dea heads cuz all bus up da land.
17 I goin make dem go all ova da place

Jalike one wind from da dry boonies throw dirt all ova da place.
I goin make deaf ear to dem
Wen time fo wipe dem out.”
