Isaiah 29:16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
16 You have turned things around,
as if the potter were the same as the clay.
How can what is made say about its maker,
“He didn’t make me”?(A)
How can what is formed
say about the one who formed it,
“He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?
Isaiah 45:9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
9 “Woe to the one who argues with his Maker—
one clay pot among many.[a]
Does clay say to the one forming it,
‘What are you making?’(A)
Or does your work say,
‘He has no hands’?[b]
