Isaiah 45:7-9

English Standard Version

^8 (B)“Shower, O heavens, from above,
    and ^(C)let the clouds rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;
    let the earth cause them both to sprout;
    I the Lord have created it.

^9 (D)“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
    a pot among earthen pots!
^(E)Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
    or ‘Your work has no handles’?
