Isa 45:9-11 | ESV | STEP | Woe to him who strives with him who formed him , a pot among earthen pots ! Does the clay say to him who forms it, What are you making ? or Your work has no handles ?

Isaiah 45:9-11

9 ^a“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
a pot among earthen pots!
^bDoes the clay say to him who forms 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 labor?’”
11 Thus says ^cthe Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him:
^d“Ask me of things to come;
will you command me ^econcerning my children and ^fthe work of my hands? ^{▼▼A slight emendation yields will you question me about my children, or command me concerning the work of my hands?}
