Isaiah 45

NET

9 One who argues with his Creator is in grave danger, one who is like a mere shard among the other shards on the ground! The clay should not say to the potter, “What in the world are you doing? Your work lacks skill!”


Darby

9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let a potsherd [strive] with the potsherdsD4995 of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that formeth it, What makest thou? Or thy workD4996, He hath no hands?


Darby Bible Notes

potsherds - Some read 'with his Maker, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth.' work - 'Finished work' done with a purpose, as Deut. 32.4. see chs. 5.12; 41.24; 'act,' 59.6; Ps. 64.9.


KJV

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?
