Taking things for granted.

Jer 18:1 "The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

v2 Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words.

v3 Then I went down to the potter's house, and, behold, he wrought a work on the wheels.

v4 And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

v5 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

v6 O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

v7 At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

v8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

v9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

v10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.

v11 Now therefore go to, speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good."

1Sa 15:10-11 "Then came the word of the LORD unto Samuel, saying, It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king: for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments."

Jude 1:5 "I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not."
