Isaiah 45:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ “·Sky [Heavens] above, make ·victory [or righteousness] fall like rain;
    clouds, pour down ·victory [or righteousness].
Let the earth ·receive it [open up],
    and let salvation grow,
and let ·victory [or righteousness] grow with it.
    I, the Lord, have created it.

⁹ “·How terrible it will be for [^LWoe to] those who argue with ·the God who made them [their Maker].
    ·They are like a piece of broken pottery [^LA potsherd] among ·many pieces [^Lpotsherds of the earth].
·The clay does not [^LDoes the clay…?] ask the potter [64:8; Rom. 9:20],
    ‘What are you doing?’
The thing that is made doesn’t say to its maker,
    ‘You have no ·hands [or skill].’
¹⁰ ·How terrible it will be for [^LWoe to] the child who says to his father,
    ‘·Why are you giving me life [or What have you fathered]?’
·How terrible it will be for [^LWoe to] the child who says to his mother,
    ‘·Why are you giving birth to me [or What have you given birth to]?’”
