Isaiah 45:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Woe to anyone who asks a father, “What are you begetting?”
or a woman, “What are you giving birth to?”
11 Thus says the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, his maker:
Do you question me about my children,
tell me how to treat the work of my hands?
12 It was I who made the earth
and created the people upon it;
It was my hands that stretched out the heavens;
I gave the order to all their host.
