Contextual Overview
1The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying, 2"Rise, and you have gone down [to] the potter's house, and there I cause you to hear My words"; 3and I go down [to] the potter's house, and behold, he is doing a work on the stones, 4and the vessel that he is making is marred, as clay in the hand of the potter, and he has turned and he makes it another vessel, as it was right in the eyes of the potter to make. 5And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, 6"O house of Israel, am I not able to do to you as this potter?" A declaration of YHWH. "Behold, as clay in the hand of the potter, || So [are] you in My hand, O house of Israel. 7The moment I speak concerning a nation, || And concerning a kingdom, || To pluck up and to break down, and to destroy,8And that nation has turned from its evil, || Because I have spoken against it, || Then I have relented of the calamity that I thought to do to it. 9And the moment I speak concerning a nation, || And concerning a kingdom, to build, and to plant, 10And it has done evil in My eyes, || So as not to listen to My voice, || Then I have relented of the good || That I have spoken of doing to it.

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.
s רגע אדבר "momento loquor", Schmidt; "momento eloquor", Junius Tremellius "momento ut loquutus fuero", Tigurine version.
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.
