Yeshayah 45:4-10 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

4. For the sake of avdi Ya'akov, and Yisroel My Bachir, I have even called thee by thy shem (name); I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me.

5. I am Hashem, and there is none other, there is no Elohim besides Me; I equipped thee, though thou hast not known Me;

6. That they may know from the rising of the shemesh, even to the ma'arav (west, setting place of the sun), that there is none apart from Me. I am Hashem, and there is no other [Elohim].

7. I form ohr, and create choshech; I make shalom, and create rah; I Hashem worketh all these things.

8. Cause [the rain] to trickle down, ye Shomayim, from above, and let the blue sky pour down tzedek; let eretz open, and let Yesha (salvation) blossom, and let tzedakah (righteousness) tatzmiach (spring up; Tzemach) together; I Hashem have created it.

9. Woe unto him that quarreleth with his Yotzer-a potsherd among the potsherds of adamah. Shall the chomer (clay) say to the Yotzer of it, What art Thou making? Or Thy po'al (work) hath no handles?

10. Woe unto him that saith unto his Av, What begettest thou? Or to the isha, What hast thou given birth to?
