I form light and I create darkness;
    I make peace and I create evil;
        I am Yahweh; I do all these things.
Trickle, O heavens, from above,
    and let clouds trickle with righteousness;
let the earth open so that[a] salvation may be fruitful,
    and let it cause righteousness to sprout along with it.[b]
        I myself, Yahweh, have created it.
Woe to the one who strives with his maker,[c]
    a potsherd among[d] potsherds of earth!
Does the clay say to the one who fashions it,
    ‘What are you making?’
    and ‘Your work has no hands’?
