Jeremiah 1:5-10 ASV

It is not you who shape God; 
it is God that shapes you.

 If then you are the work of God,
 await the hand of the Artist
 who does all things in due season.

 Offer the Potter your heart,
 soft and easily led,
 and keep the form in which 
the Artist has fashioned you.

 Let your clay be moist,
 lest you grow hard and lose 
the imprint of the Potter’s fingers.
