Isaiah 45:9-11
International Standard Version
Isaiah 45:9-11
International Standard Version
9 “Woe to the one who quarrels with his makers,[a]
a mere potsherd with the potsherds of the[b] earth!
Woe to the one who says[c] to the one forming him,
‘What are you making?’
or ‘Your work has no human[d] hands?’!
10 Woe to the[e] one who says to his father,
‘What are you begetting?’
or to a woman, ‘To what are you giving birth?’!”
11 This is what the Lord[f] says,
the Creator of the signs:
“Question me about my children,[g]
or give me orders about the work of my hands.
