- That men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun That there is no one besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other,
- The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the LORD who does all these.
- "Drip down, O heavens, from above, And let the clouds pour down righteousness; Let the earth open up and salvation bear fruit, And righteousness spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it.
- "Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker-- An earthenware vessel among the vessels of earth! Will the clay say to the potter, 'What are you doing?' Or the thing you are making say, 'He has no hands'?
- "Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?' Or to a woman, 'To what are you giving birth?'"

- so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting men may know there is none besides me. I am the LORD, and there is no other.
- I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD, do all these things.
- "You heavens above, rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness grow with it; I, the LORD, have created it.
- "Woe to him who quarrels with his Maker, to him who is but a potsherd among the potsherds on the ground. Does the clay say to the potter, 'What are you making?' Does your work say, 'He has no hands'?
- Woe to him who says to his father, 'What have you begotten?' or to his mother, 'What have you brought to birth?'
