“Woe to the one who argues with his Maker—
one clay pot among many.[a]
Does clay say to the one forming it,
‘What are you making?’(A)
Or does your work say,
‘He has no hands’?[b]
10 How absurd is the one who says to his father,
‘What are you fathering?’
or to his mother,
‘What are you giving birth to?’”
11 This is what the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel(B) and its Maker, says:
“Ask Me what is to happen to[c] My sons,(C)
and instruct Me about the work of My hands.(D)
