Isaiah 45:9 in Context — Isaiah 45
7 Que formo la luz y crío las tinieblas, que hago la paz y crío el mal. Yo Jehová que hago todo esto.
8 Rociad, cielos, de arriba, y las nubes destilen la justicia; ábrase la tierra, y prodúzcanse la salud y la justicia; háganse brotar juntamente. Yo Jehová lo crié.
9 ¡Ay del que pleitea con su Hacedor! ¡el tiesto con los tiestos de la tierra! ¿Dirá el barro al que lo labra: Qué haces; ó tu obra: No tiene manos?
10 ¡Ay del que dice al padre: ¿Por qué engendraste? y á la mujer: ¿Por qué pariste?
11 Así dice Jehová, el Santo de Israel, y su Formador: Preguntadme de las cosas por venir; mandadme acerca de mis hijos, y acerca de la obra de mis manos.
