Isaiah 45:9

“Were He to snatch away, who could turn Him back? Who could say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’

“Why do you contend against Him? For He does not give an answer for all His doings.

“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it.”

Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; and he cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is.

Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it? Is the saw to magnify itself over the one who wields it? That would be like a rod wielding those who lift it, Or like a staff lifting him who is not wood.

You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker, “He did not make me”; Or what is formed say to him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?

But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand.

“Can I not, O house of Israel, deal with you as this potter does?” declares Yahweh. “Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

“And concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “You have burned this scroll, saying, ‘Why have you written on it that the king of Babylon will certainly come and make this land a ruin and will make man and beast to cease from it?’”

“And all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, But He does according to His will in the host of heaven And among the inhabitants of earth; And no one can strike against His hand Or say to Him, ‘What have You done?’

On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? Will the thing molded say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this”?

Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
