Isaias

Hebrew Bible

Hebrew Bible, Isaias, Ottley, Cambridge, 1904

6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the setting thereof, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else,

7 That form light, and create darkness, that make peace, and create evil: I am the Lord, that do all these things

8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness; let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let her cause righteousness to spring up together: I the Lord have created it.

9, Ah, he that. striveth with him that formed him ! a potsherd among potsherds of the ground. Shall the clay say to the potter, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands!

[*](4. ‘therefore,’ Heb. ‘and,’ marking principal clause.)[*](7. ‘evil,’ here explained as calamity.)[*](9. ‘him that formed.’ Same word as ‘potter,’ cf. xxix.)

10 Ah, he that saith unto a father, What begettest thou? or to a woman, Wherewith travailest thou?
