[a]Woe be unto him that striveth with his maker, the potsherd with the potsherds of the earth: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, [b]It hath none hands?

10 Woe unto him that saith to his father, What hast thou begotten? or to his mother, What hast thou brought forth?

11 Thus saith the Lord, the only one of Israel, and his maker, Ask me [c]of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the works of mine hands: commend you me.

12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, whose hands have spread out the heavens, I have even commanded all their [d]army.

13 I have raised [e]him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for [f]price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts.
