Contextual Overview
1The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 2"Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will make you hear My words." 3Then I went down to the potter's house, and saw that he was working at the wheel. 4But the vessel that he was making from clay was spoiled by the potter's hand; so he made it over, reworking it and making it into another pot that seemed good to him. 5Then the word of the LORD came to me: 6"O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does?" says the LORD. "Look carefully, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel. 7"At one moment I might [suddenly] speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will uproot and break down and destroy;8if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent and reverse My decision concerning the devastation that I intended to do. 9"Or at another time I might [suddenly] speak about a nation or kingdom that I will build up or establish; 10and if they do evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will reverse My decision concerning the good with which I had promised to bless them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
[At what] instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom,.... By way of threatening: or, "the moment I shall speak" s, c as soon as ever I have declared concerning any people whatever, Jews or Gentiles; that if they go on in their sins, and remain impenitent, and do not turn from them, that they must expect I will quickly come out against such a nation and kingdom in a providential way, as threatened:
to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy [it]; as the proprietor of a garden, when it do not turn to his account, plucks up the plants, and pulls down the fences, and lets it go to ruin.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
At what instant - literally, “in a moment.” Here, “at one time - at another time.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Jeremiah 18:7-10. At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, &c. - If that nation, against whom, &c. - And at what instant, &c. - If it do evil, &c. — 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.
