Isaiah 45:5-10

5I am the Lord, and there is no other, besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me,

6that people may know, from the rising of the sun and from the west, that there is none besides me; I am the Lord, and there is no other.

7I form light and create darkness; I make well-being and create calamity; I am the Lord, who does all these things.

8"Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit; let the earth cause them both to sprout; I the Lord have created it.

9"Woe to him who strives with him who formed him, a pot among earthen pots! Does the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?' or 'Your work has no handles'?

10Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?' or to a woman, 'With what are you in labor?'"
