Isaiah 45:8-10

English Standard Version Anglicised

^8 (A)“Shower, O heavens, from above,
    and ^(B)let the clouds rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;
    let the earth cause them both to sprout;
    I the Lord have created it.
^9 (C)“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
    a pot among earthen pots!
^(D)Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’

¹⁰ Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
    or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labour?’”
