Isaiah 45:10

10 Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?

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 Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the just: let the earth be opened, and bud forth a saviour: and let justice spring up together: I the Lord have created him.

9 Woe to him that gainsayeth his maker, a sherd of the earthen pots: shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it: What art thou making, and thy work is without hands?

10 Woe to him that saith to his father: Why begettest thou? and to the woman: Why dost thou bring forth?

11 Thus saith the Lord the Holy One of Israel, his maker: Ask me of things to come, concerning my children, and concerning the work of my hands give ye charge to me.

12 I made the earth: and I created man upon it: my hand stretched forth the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.
