Isaiah 29:16
Christian Standard Bible
16 You have turned things around,
as if the potter were the same as the clay.
How can what is made say about its maker,
“He didn’t make me”?(A)
How can what is formed
say about the one who formed it,
“He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?
Isaiah 45:9
Christian Standard Bible
9 “Woe to the one who argues with his Maker—
one clay pot among many.[a]
Does clay say to the one forming it,
‘What are you making?’ (A)
Or does your work say,
‘He has no hands’?[b]
Romans 9:20-21
Christian Standard Bible
20 On the contrary, who are you, a human being, to talk back to God?(A) Will what is formed say to the one who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” (B) 21 Or has the potter no right over the clay,(C) to make from the same lump one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor?
