Isaiah 45:5-12
New International Version
Isaiah 45:5-12
New International Version
5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;(A)
apart from me there is no God.(B)
I will strengthen you,(C)
though you have not acknowledged me,
6 so that from the rising of the sun
to the place of its setting(D)
people may know(E) there is none besides me.(F)
I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7 I form the light and create darkness,(G)
I bring prosperity and create disaster;(H)
I, the Lord, do all these things.
8 “You heavens above, rain(I) down my righteousness;(J)
let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide,
let salvation(K) spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it;
I, the Lord, have created it.
9 “Woe to those who quarrel(L) with their Maker,(M)
those who are nothing but potsherds(N)
among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,(O)
‘What are you making?’(P)
Does your work say,
‘The potter has no hands’?(Q)
10 Woe to the one who says to a father,
‘What have you begotten?’
or to a mother,
‘What have you brought to birth?’
11 “This is what the Lord says—
the Holy One(R) of Israel, and its Maker:(S)
Concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?(T)
12 It is I who made the earth(U)
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;(V)
I marshaled their starry hosts.(W)
Isaiah 45:5-12
King James Version
Isaiah 45:5-12
King James Version
5 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the Lord have created it.
9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11 Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
