5. I am the Lord, and there is no other;There is no God besides Me.I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
6. That they may know from the rising of the sun to its settingThat there is none besides Me.I am the Lord, and there is no other;
7. I form the light and create darkness,I make peace and create calamity;I, the Lord, do all these things.’
8. “Rain down, you heavens, from above,And let the skies pour down righteousness;Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,And let righteousness spring up together.I, the Lord, have created it.
9. “Woe to him who strives with his Maker!Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
10. Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What are you begetting?’Or to the woman, ‘What have you brought forth?’ ”
