An earthenware vessel [b]among the vessels of earth!

Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?
10 “Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
Or to a woman, ‘To what are you [d]giving birth?’”

11 Thus says the (C)Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his [e](D)Maker:

And you shall commit to Me (G)the work of My hands.
