Yeshayah 45:10

10 Woe unto him that saith unto his Av, What begettest thou? Or to the isha, What hast thou given birth to?

Yeshayah 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 ) .

Yeshayah 45:10 In-Context

8 Cause [the rain] to trickle down, ye Shomayim, from above, and let the blue sky pour down tzedek; let eretz open, and let Yesha (salvation) blossom, and let tzedakah (righteousness) tatzmiach (spring up; Tzemach) together; I Hashem have created it.

9 Woe unto him that quarreleth with his Yotzera potsherd among the potsherds of adamah. Shall the chomer (clay) say to the Yotzer of it, What art Thou making? Or Thy po’al (work) hath no handles?

10 Woe unto him that saith unto his Av, What begettest thou? Or to the isha, What hast thou given birth to?

11 Thus saith Hashem, Kadosh Yisroel, and its Yotzer, Will ye ask Me of otiyyot (things to come, future things) concerning My banim, and will ye command Me regarding the po’al of My hands?

12 I made Eretz, and I created adam upon it; I, even My hands, have stretched out Shomayim, and all their tzeva have I commanded.
