9. Woe to anyone who contends with their Maker;a potsherd among potsherds of the earth!Shall the clay say to the potter, “What are you doing?”or, “What you are making has no handles”?
10. Woe to anyone who asks a father, “What are you begetting?”or a woman, “What are you giving birth to?”
11. Thus says the Lord,the Holy One of Israel, his maker:Do you question me about my children,tell me how to treat the work of my hands?
12. It was I who made the earthand created the people upon it;It was my hands that stretched out the heavens;I gave the order to all their host.
