Tell the heavens
to send down justice
    like showers of rain.
Prepare the earth
    for my saving power
to sprout and produce justice
    that I, the Lord, create.[a]

The Lord's Mighty Power

The Lord said:

(A) Israel, you have no right
    to argue with your Creator.
You are merely a clay pot
    shaped by a potter.
The clay doesn't ask,
“Why did you make me this way?
    Where are the handles?”
10 Children don't have the right
    to demand of their parents,
“What have you done
    to make us what we are?”
