Isaiah 45:7-9
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
7 I form light and create darkness,
I make weal and create woe,
I am the Lord, who do all these things.
8 “Shower, O heavens, from above,
and let the skies rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation may sprout forth,[a]
and let it cause righteousness to spring up also;
I the Lord have created it.
9 “Woe to him who strives with his Maker,
an earthen vessel with the potter![b]
Does the clay say to him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’
or ‘Your work has no handles’?
