Isaiah:45:9-16
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
