Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?' or to a woman, 'With what are you in labor?'"

What does Isaiah 45:10 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
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 ) .
