Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour downrighteousness: let the earthopen, and let them bring forthsalvation, and let righteousness spring uptogether; I the LORD have created it.
9
Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the claysay to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?
11
Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my handscommand ye me.
13
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward,saith the LORD of hosts.
