Romans 9:20

Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth? Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

But now, O Lord, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.

Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?

Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.

Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
