Isaiah 45:8

Read in context

Isaiah 45:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 so that all may know, from where the sun rises to where it sets, that there is none but Me; I am the LORD, and there is no other.

7 I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

8 Drip down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open up that salvation may sprout and righteousness spring up with it; I, the LORD, have created it.

9 Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker— one clay pot among many. Does the clay ask the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘He has no hands’?

10 Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to his mother, ‘What have you brought forth?’”
