Isaiah 45:8-10
Evangelical Heritage Version
Coming Blessings
8 Shower down, you heavens, from above,
and let the clouds rain down righteousness.
Let the earth open up,
so that salvation will produce fruit.
Let righteousness sprout up along with it.
I, the Lord, am creating this.
Arguing With the Lord
9 Woe to anyone who argues against the potter who formed him.
He is just a potsherd among the broken pieces of pottery on the ground.
Does clay say to its potter, “What are you making?
Your work looks like something made by a potter with no hands”?
10 Woe to anyone who says to his father, “What have you fathered?”
or to a woman, “What are you giving birth to?”
Isaiah 45:8-10
New International Version
8 “You heavens above, rain(A) down my righteousness;(B)
let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide,
let salvation(C) spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it;
I, the Lord, have created it.
9 “Woe to those who quarrel(D) with their Maker,(E)
those who are nothing but potsherds(F)
among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,(G)
‘What are you making?’(H)
Does your work say,
‘The potter has no hands’?(I)
10 Woe to the one who says to a father,
‘What have you begotten?’
or to a mother,
‘What have you brought to birth?’
