Isaiah 45:9-11

International Children’s Bible

⁹ “How terrible it will be for those who argue with the God who made them.
    They are like one piece of broken pottery among many pieces.
The clay does not ask the potter,
    ‘What are you doing?’
The thing that is made doesn’t say to its maker,
    ‘You have no hands.’
¹⁰ How terrible it will be for the child who says to his father,
    ‘Why are you giving me life?’
How terrible it will be for the child who says to his mother,
    ‘Why are you giving birth to me?’”

¹¹ The Lord is the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker.
    He says this:
“You ask me about what will happen.
    You question me about my children.
    You give me orders about what I have made.
