9“WoeH1945 to the one who 1quarrelsH7378 with 2his MakerH3335-- A pieceH2789 ofH2789 potteryH2789 3amongH854 the other earthenwareH127 potteryH2789 piecesH2789! Will the 4clayH2563 sayH559 to the 5potterH3335, ‘WhatH4100 are you doingH6213?’ Or the thingH6467 you are makingH6467 say, ‘He hasH369 noH369 handsH3027’?10WoeH1945 to him who saysH559 to a fatherH1, ‘WhatH4100 are you fatheringH3205?’ Or to a womanH802, ‘To whatH4100 are you 6givingH2342 birthH2342?’”

11ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the 7LordH3068 saysH559, the HolyH6918 OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 and 8his 9MakerH3335: “1011AskH7592 Me aboutH5921 the thingsH857 toH857 comeH857 12concerningH5921 My 13sonsH1121, And you shall commitH6680 to Me 14the workH6467 of My handsH3027.12It is I who 15madeH6213 the earthH776, and createdH1254 mankindH120 upon it. I 16stretchedH5186 outH5186 the heavensH8064 with My handsH3027, And I 17ordainedH6680 18allH3605 their 19lightsH6635.13I have stirredH5782 him in 20righteousnessH6664, And I will 21makeH3474 allH3605 his waysH1870 smoothH3474. He will 22buildH1129 My cityH5892 and letH7971 My exilesH1546 goH7971 23freeH7971, WithoutH3808 any paymentH4242 or rewardH7810,” saysH559 the LordH3068 of armiesH6635.
