Isaiah 45:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 45:10

Woe unto him that saith unto his father, what begettest thou?
&c.] That quarrels with him, and complains of him, because he was not of the other sex, or not so wise, or so rich, or so handsome, as others: or to the woman;
disdaining to call her mother: what hast thou brought forth?
equally as absurd and impious it was in the Jews to quarrel with Christ for his conversation with sinners, and the reception of them; or for the regeneration of such persons; or to find fault with God for the conversion of the Gentiles, and resent it, and be angry at it, as they were; see ( Romans 10:19 Romans 10:20 ) ( 1 Thessalonians 2:16 ) .

Isaiah 45:10 In-Context

8 Rain down from above, you heavens, and pour down righteousness, you skies. Let the earth open. Let salvation and righteousness sprout. Let them spring up. I, the LORD, have created them.

9 How horrible it will be for the one who quarrels with his maker. He is pottery among other earthenware pots. Does the clay ask the one who shapes it, "What are you making?" Does your work say to you, "There are no handles"?

10 How horrible it will be for the one who says to his father, "Why did you conceive me?" or to his mother, "Why did you go through labor pains for me?"

11 The LORD is the Holy One and the maker of Israel. This is what the LORD says: Ask me about what is going to happen to my children! Are you going to give me orders concerning my handiwork?

12 I made the earth and created humans on it. I stretched out the heavens with my own hands. I commanded all the stars [to shine].
