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

Maker— one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the
potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?

make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
This is what the LORD says: “The products of Egypt and the
merchandise of
Cush, along with the
Sabeans, men of
stature, will come over to you and will be yours; they will
trudge behind you; they will come over in chains and bow down to you. They will
confess to you: ‘God is indeed with you, and there is no other; there is no other God.’”

ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are
makers of idols.
They will all be put to shame and
humiliated; the
makers of idols will depart together in disgrace.

thirst.
Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to
