Isaiah 45:8-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 45
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?’?'
11
This is what the
Lord
says, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker:
'Ask Me about the things to come concerning My sons,
And you shall commit to Me the work of My hands.
12
It is I who made the earth, and created mankind upon it.
I stretched out the heavens with My hands,
And I ordained all their lights.
13
I have stirred him in righteousness,
And I will make all his ways smooth.
He will build My city and let My exiles go free,
Without any payment or reward,' says the
Lord
of armies.
King James Version
Chapter 45
8
Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the
Lord
have created it.
9
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 makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
10
Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
11
Thus saith the
Lord
, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
12
I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the
Lord
of hosts.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 45
8
"Heavens, sprinkle from above,
and let the skies shower righteousness.
Let the earth open up
so that salvation will sprout
and righteousness will spring up with it.
I, the
Lord
, have created it.
9
"Woe to the one who argues with his Maker—
one clay pot among many.
Does clay say to the one forming it,
‘What are you making?’
Or does your work say,
‘He has no hands’?
10
Woe to the one who says to his father,
‘What are you fathering?’
or to his mother,
‘What are you giving birth to?’"
11
This is what the
Lord
,
the Holy One of Israel and its Maker, says:
"Ask me what is to happen to my sons,
and instruct me about the work of my hands.
12
I made the earth,
and created humans on it.
It was my hands that stretched out the heavens,
and I commanded everything in them.
13
I have stirred him up in righteousness,
and will level all roads for him.
He will rebuild my city,
and set my exiles free,
not for a price or a bribe,"
says the
Lord
of Armies.
New Living Translation
Chapter 45
8
'Open up, O heavens,
and pour out your righteousness.
Let the earth open wide
so salvation and righteousness can sprout up together.
I, the
Lord
, created them.
9
'What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator.
Does a clay pot argue with its maker?
Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying,
‘Stop, you’re doing it wrong!’
Does the pot exclaim,
‘How clumsy can you be?’
10
How terrible it would be if a newborn baby said to its father,
‘Why was I born?’
or if it said to its mother,
‘Why did you make me this way?’'
11
This is what the
Lord
says —
the Holy One of Israel and your Creator:
'Do you question what I do for my children?
Do you give me orders about the work of my hands?
12
I am the one who made the earth
and created people to live on it.
With my hands I stretched out the heavens.
All the stars are at my command.
13
I will raise up Cyrus to fulfill my righteous purpose,
and I will guide his actions.
He will restore my city and free my captive people —
without seeking a reward!
I, the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies, have spoken!'
English Standard Version
Chapter 45
8
"Shower, O heavens, from above,
and let the clouds rain down righteousness;
let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;
let the earth cause them both to sprout;
I the
Lord
have created it.
9
"Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,
a pot among earthen pots!
Does the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
or ‘Your work has no handles’?
10
Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What are you begetting?’
or to a woman, ‘With what are you in labor?’"
11
Thus says the
Lord
,
the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him:
"Ask me of things to come;
will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands?
12
I made the earth
and created man on it;
it was my hands that stretched out the heavens,
and I commanded all their host.
13
I have stirred him up in righteousness,
and I will make all his ways level;
he shall build my city
and set my exiles free,
not for price or reward,"
says the
Lord
of hosts.
New International Version
Chapter 45
8
"You heavens above, rain down my righteousness;
let the clouds shower it down.
Let the earth open wide,
let salvation spring up,
let righteousness flourish with it;
I, the
Lord
, have created it.
9
"Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker,
those who are nothing but potsherds
among the potsherds on the ground.
Does the clay say to the potter,
‘What are you making?’
Does your work say,
‘The potter has no hands’?
10
Woe to the one who says to a father,
‘What have you begotten?’
or to a mother,
‘What have you brought to birth?’
11
"This is what the
Lord
says—
the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker:
Concerning things to come,
do you question me about my children,
or give me orders about the work of my hands?
12
It is I who made the earth
and created mankind on it.
My own hands stretched out the heavens;
I marshaled their starry hosts.
13
I will raise up Cyrus in my righteousness:
I will make all his ways straight.
He will rebuild my city
and set my exiles free,
but not for a price or reward,
says the
Lord
Almighty."

9
“Woe to him who strives with his Maker!
Let
the potsherd
strive
with the potsherds of the earth!
Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
Or shall your handiwork
say,
‘He has no hands’?
10
Woe to him who says to
his
father, ‘What are you begetting?’
