Isaiah 45:9-13

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?'"

11Thus says the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him: "Ask me of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands?

12I made the earth and created man on it; it was my hands that stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.

13I have stirred him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways level; he shall build my city and set my exiles free, not for price or reward," says the Lord of hosts.
