Clay cannot command its maker

9Woe to the one who contends with his Maker— a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to the one who forms it, “What are you making?” or your work, “He has no hands”?

10Woe to one who says to a father, ‘What are you fathering?’ or to a woman, ‘What are you giving birth to?’

11Thus says Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker: Ask me about the things to come concerning my sons, and command me concerning the work of my hands.

12I made the earth, and I created man upon it; my hands stretched out the heavens, and I commanded all their host.
