Isaiah 45:7-10

7The One 1forming light and 2creating darkness, Causing 3well-being and 4creating disaster; I am the Lord who does all these things.

8“5Drip down, heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the 6earth open up and salvation bear fruit, 7And righteousness sprout with it. I, the Lord, have created it.

9“Woe to the one who 8quarrels with 9his Maker-- A piece of pottery 10among the other earthenware pottery pieces! Will the 11clay say to the 12potter, ‘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 13giving birth?’”
