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.

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?

God’s Supreme Power

(A)Drip down, heavens, from above,
And let the clouds pour down righteousness;
Let the (B)earth open up and salvation bear fruit,
(C)And righteousness sprout with it.
I, the Lord, have created it.

“Woe to the one who (D)quarrels with [a]his Maker—
A piece of pottery [b]among the other earthenware pottery pieces!
Will the (E)clay say to the [c]potter, ‘What are you doing?’
Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?
10 Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you fathering?’
Or to a woman, ‘To what are you [d]giving birth?’”
