Isaiah 45:9-11 Is any thing endowed with excellence? I fashioned it like the clay of a potter. Will the ploughman plough the ground all the day long? Will the clay say to the potter, "What art thou making?" Or the work to the Workman, "Thou hast not hands"" Will the thing formed reply against him who formed it?

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ Is any thing endowed with excellence? I fashioned it like the clay of a potter. Will the ploughman plough the ground all the day long? Will the clay say to the potter, "What art thou making?" Or the work to the Workman, "Thou hast not hands"" Will the thing formed reply against him who formed it? ¹⁰ Will one say to his father, What wilt thou beget? Or to his mother, What art thou bringing forth? ¹¹ Wherefore thus saith the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, even he who made the train of events; Do you question me concerning my children; and concerning the works of my hands give me directions!
