9 j“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,a pot among earthen pots!
kDoes the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
or ‘Your work has no handles’?
10Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labor?’”

run away from her. And I will appoint over her whomever I choose. pFor who is like me? qWho will summon me? rWhat shepherd can stand before me? Romans 9:19-20
19You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For swho can resist his will?” 20But who are you, O man, tto answer back to God? uWill what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”
