5. I am the Lord, and there is no other,besides me there is no God; I equip you, though you do not know me,
6. that people may know, from the rising of the sunand from the west, that there is none besides me;I am the Lord, and there is no other.
7. I form light and create darkness,I make well-being and create calamity,I am the Lord, who does all these things.
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’?
