Isaiah 45:9-12
9“Woe to the one who 1quarrels with 2his Maker-- A piece of pottery 3among the other earthenware pottery pieces! Will the 4clay say to the 5potter, ‘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 6giving birth?’”
11This is what the 7Lord says, the Holy One of Israel and 8his 9Maker: “1011Ask Me about the things to come 12concerning My 13sons, And you shall commit to Me 14the work of My hands.12It is I who 15made the earth, and created mankind upon it. I 16stretched out the heavens with My hands, And I 17ordained 18all their 19lights.
