[Oracle] The wheel kept turning though the vessel failed, The hand did not panic when the center gave way. Clay cannot lecture the fingers that know [People] As clay in the potter’s hand, A nation may turn while the wheel still moves. [Oracle] Where pressure must enter and where mercy must slow. Judgment announced is not pleasure in ruin; Return and be shaped before hardness is chosen. They answered, No hope; we will follow our thought, [People] As clay in the potter’s hand, A nation may turn while the wheel still moves. Then planned with the tongue against warning they fought. [Bridge] Snow leaves the mountain, strange waters run dry, A people forgets what creation keeps nearby. The wheel keeps turning, but time is not clay; [Coda] Yield to the hand while repentance has day. As clay in the potter’s hand, A nation may turn while the wheel still moves.
