Definitions for Jeremiah 18:7
Clarke's Jeremiah 18:7 Bible Commentary
At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, etc. - If that nation, against whom, etc. - And at what instant, etc. - If it do evil, etc. - These verses contain what may be called God's decree by which the whole of his conduct towards man is regulated. If he purpose destruction against an offending person, if that person repent and turn to God, he shall live and not die. If he purpose peace and salvation to him that walketh uprightly, if he turn from God to the world and sin, he shall die and not live.
Barnes's Jeremiah 18:7 Bible Commentary
At what instant - literally, "in a moment." Here, "at one time - at another time."
