Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
bShall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
Or to the woman, ‘What have you brought forth?’ ”
The Holy One of Israel, and his Maker:
a“Ask Me of things to come concerning bMy sons;
And concerning cthe work of My hands, you command Me.
And bcreated man on it.
I—My hands—stretched out the heavens,
And call their host I have commanded.
And I will1 direct all his ways;
He shall bbuild My city
And let My exiles go free,
cNot for price nor reward,”
Says the Lord of hosts.
The Lord, the Only Savior
a“The labor of Egypt and merchandise of Cush
And of the Sabeans, men of stature,
Shall come over to you, and they shall be yours;
They shall walk behind you,
They shall come over bin chains;
And they shall bow down to you.
They will make supplication to you, saying, c‘Surely God is in you,
And there is no other;
dThere is no other God.’ ”
