Isaiah 45:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ I form the light and create the darkness;
    prosperity and disaster depend upon my will;
    I, the Lord, do all these things.
⁸ Rain down righteousness, you heavens;
    let the skies pour it down from above.
Let the earth open up
    so that salvation may blossom forth,
and let justice also spring up;
    I, the Lord, have created it.
⁹ Woe to anyone who rises up against his Maker,
    or to the pot that is displeased with the potter.
Does the clay say to the one who molds it,
    “What are you doing?
    Your work makes no sense.”
