Isaiah 45:9-11

English Standard Version

^9 (A)“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
    a pot among earthen pots!
^(B)Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
    or ‘Your work has no handles’?
¹⁰ Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
    or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labor?’”

¹¹ Thus says ^(C)the Lord,
    the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him:
^(D)“Ask me of things to come;
    will you command me ^(E)concerning my children and ^(F)the work of my hands?^[a]
