Isaiah 45:9 in Context — Isaiah 45
7 Eu formo a luz e crio as trevas; eu faço a paz, e crio a adversidade; eu, o SENHOR, faço todas estas coisas.
8 Gotejai vós, céus, de cima, e as nuvens destilem justiça; abra-se a terra, e produza-se salvação, e a justiça juntamente frutifique; eu, o SENHOR, as criei.
9 Ai daquele que briga com seu formador: [apenas] um caco entre outros cacos de barro! Por acaso o barro dirá ao seu formador: Que fazes? Ou tua obra: Não tem mãos?
10 Ai daquele que diz ao pai: O que é que tu geras? E à mulher: O que é que tu fazes nascer?
11 Assim diz o SENHOR, o Santo de Israel, e seu formador: Perguntai-me sobre as coisas futuras; [por acaso] me dais ordens sobre os meus filhos, e sobre as obras de minhas mãos?
