Isaiah 45:5-10
5I am the Lord, and 1there is no one else; 2There is no God except Me. I will 34arm you, though you have not known Me,6So that 5people may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is 6no one besides Me. I am the Lord, and there is no one else,7The One 7forming light and 8creating darkness, Causing 9well-being and 10creating disaster; I am the Lord who does all these things.
8“11Drip down, heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the 12earth open up and salvation bear fruit, 13And righteousness sprout with it. I, the Lord, have created it.
9“Woe to the one who 14quarrels with 15his Maker-- A piece of pottery 16among the other earthenware pottery pieces! Will the 17clay say to the 18potter, ‘What are you doing?’ Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?10Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you fathering?’ Or to a woman, ‘To what are you 19giving birth?’”
