Isaiah 45:9-11

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ “Woe to him who strives with his Maker,
    an earthen vessel with the potter!^[a]
Does the clay say to him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’
    or ‘Your work has no handles’?
¹⁰ Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
    or to a woman, ‘With what are you in travail?’”
¹¹ Thus says the Lord,
    the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker:
“Will you question me^[b] about my children,
    or command me concerning the work of my hands?
