Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

5“I am the Lord, and there is no one else;

There is no God except Me.

I will arm you, though you have not known Me,

6So that people may know from the rising to the setting of the sun

That there is no one besides Me.

I am the Lord, and there is no one else,

7The One forming light and creating darkness,

Causing well-being and creating disaster;

I am the Lord who does all these things.

8“Drip down, heavens, from above,

And let the clouds pour down righteousness;

Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit,

And righteousness sprout with it.

I, the Lord, have created it.

9“Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker—

A piece of pottery among the other earthenware pottery pieces!

Will the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you doing?’

Or the thing you are making say, ‘He has no hands’?

10“Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you fathering?’

Or to a woman, ‘To what are you giving birth?’ ”
