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 Release, ye heavens, from above, and the clouds shall pour down righteous ness; let the earth open up, and let salvation and righteousness bear their fruit; let them produce fruit together; I the LORD have created it.

9 Woe unto him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What doth thou make; thy work has no form?

10 Woe unto him that says unto his father, Why dost thou beget? or to the woman, Why hast thou brought forth?

11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come; inquire of me concerning my sons and concerning the work of my hands.

12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it, I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens and I have commanded all their host.
