Yahweh the Maker

(A)Drip down, O heavens, from above,
And let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the (B)earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
(C)And righteousness [a]spring up with it.
I, Yahweh, have created it.

“Woe to the one who (D)contends with his [b]Maker—
An earthenware vessel [c]among the vessels of earth!
Will the (E)clay say to the [d]potter, ‘What are you doing?’
Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
Or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labor pains?’”
