Wisdom 15:7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
The Potter’s Clay Idols
7 For the potter, laboriously working the soft earth,
molds for our service each single article:
He fashions out of the same clay
both the vessels that serve for clean purposes
and their opposites, all alike;
As to what shall be the use of each vessel of either class
the worker in clay is the judge.(A)
Isaiah 45:9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 Woe to anyone who contends with their Maker;(A)
a potsherd among potsherds of the earth![a]
Shall the clay say to the potter, “What are you doing?”
or, “What you are making has no handles”?
