10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you fathering?’
Or to a woman, ‘To what are you [a]giving birth?’”

11 This is what the (A)Lord says, the Holy One of Israel and [b]his (B)Maker:

[c](C)Ask Me about the things to come [d]concerning My (D)sons,
And you shall commit to Me (E)the work of My hands.
12 It is I who (F)made the earth, and created mankind upon it.
I (G)stretched out the heavens with My hands,
And I [e]ordained (H)all their [f]lights.
