The Indelicacy of Criticising God
Isaiah 45:9
Woe to him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth…


(ver. l 0): — That a child should so speak of father or mother is unthinkably unnatural and impious. And such are they who criticise God's method of saving His people through Cyrus.

(A. B. Davidson, D. D.)



Parallel Verses
KJV: 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?

WEB: Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, 'What are you making?' or your work, 'He has no hands?'
