* Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker ! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth . Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it , What makest thou ? or thy work , He hath no hands ? * Woe unto him that saith unto his father , What begettest thou ? or to the woman , What hast thou brought forth ? * Thus saith the LORD , the Holy One of Israel , and his Maker , Ask me of things to come concerning my sons , and concerning the work of my hands command ye me . * I have made the earth , and created man upon it : I , even my hands , have stretched out the heavens , and all their host have I commanded . * I have raised 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 price nor reward , saith the LORD of hosts . * Thus saith the LORD , The labour of Egypt , and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans , men of stature , shall come over unto thee , and they shall be thine : they shall come after thee ; in chains they shall come over , and they shall fall down unto thee , they shall make supplication unto thee , saying , Surely God is in thee ; and there is none else , there is no God . * Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself , O God of Israel , the Saviour . * They shall be ashamed , and also confounded , all of them : they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols .
