You turn things around! Shall the potter be considered as equal with the clay, That what is made would say to its maker,“ He did not make me”; Or what is formed say to him who formed it,“ He has no understanding”?

你们把事颠倒了，岂可看窑匠如泥吗？被制作的物岂可论制作物的说：他没有制作我？或是被创造的物论造物的说：他没有聪明？

你们把事情颠倒了，岂可看陶匠如陶土呢？受造物岂可论创造者说，“他并没有造我”？制成物岂可论制作者说，“他根本不懂”？

你们把事情颠倒了，岂可看陶匠如陶土呢？受造物岂可论创造者说，“他并没有造我”？制成物岂可论制作者说，“他根本不懂”？

他们太愚蠢了！窑匠怎能跟泥土相提并论？被造的怎能对造它的说：“你没有造我”？陶器怎能对陶匠说：“你什么也不懂”？

你们颠倒事理了！窑匠怎能被看作泥土呢？被造的怎能对造它的说：“他没有造我”？制成品怎可对制成它的说：“他不聪明”？

你们颠倒事理了！陶匠怎能被看作与陶泥一样？被造的怎能对造它的说：“他没有造我”？陶器怎能对陶匠说：“他什么也不知道”？

你們把事顛倒了，豈可看窰匠如泥嗎？被製作的物豈可論製作物的說：他沒有製作我？或是被創造的物論造物的說：他沒有聰明？

你們把事情顛倒了，豈可看陶匠如陶土呢？受造物豈可論創造者說，「他並沒有造我」？製成物豈可論製作者說，「他根本不懂」？

你們把事情顛倒了，豈可看陶匠如陶土呢？受造物豈可論創造者說，「他並沒有造我」？製成物豈可論製作者說，「他根本不懂」？

你們顛倒事理了！窰匠怎能被看作泥土呢？被造的怎能對造它的說：“他沒有造我”？製成品怎可對製成它的說：“他不聰明”？

嘿！看你們的乖張顛倒！窰匠哪能被看做泥土呢？被製造的哪能論製造者，說：『他沒有製造我』；或是被塑造的論塑造他的，說：『他不聰明』呢？不是還有一點點短時候，

你們顛倒事理了！陶匠怎能被看作與陶泥一樣？被造的怎能對造它的說：「他沒有造我」？陶器怎能對陶匠說：「他什麼也不知道」？

異哉、爾之乖戾也、豈可視陶人若泥乎、受造之物、豈可論造之者曰、彼未造我、被摶之器、豈可論摶之者曰、彼無聰明、○

爾違道悖理、視甄陶者同於泥土、若被造之物、告造之者曰、爾無知識、焉能造我、

爾頑嚚特甚、豈可視陶人同於泥乎、被製之物、豈可論製物者曰、彼未曾製我、受造之物、豈可論造物者曰、彼無知識、

You turn things upside down, as if the potter were thought to be like the clay! Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,“ You did not make me”? Can the pot say to the potter,“ You know nothing”?

They turn everything upside down. How silly they are to think that potters are like the clay they work with! Can what is made say to the one who made it,“ You didn’t make me”? Can the pot say to the potter,“ You don’t know anything”?

You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker,“ He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it,“ He has no understanding”?

How foolish can you be? He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay! Should the created thing say of the one who made it,“ He didn’t make me”? Does a jar ever say,“ The potter who made me is stupid”?

You have turned things around, as if the potter were the same as the clay. How can what is made say about its maker,“ He didn’t make me”? How can what is formed say about the one who formed it,“ He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?

Surely you have things turned around! Shall the potter be esteemed as the clay; For shall the thing made say of him who made it,“ He did not make me”? Or shall the thing formed say of him who formed it,“ He has no understanding”?

Ye turn things upside down! Shall the potter be esteemed as clay; that the thing made should say of him that made it, He made me not; or the thing formed say of him that formed it, He hath no understanding?

You have turned things around, as if the potter were the same as the clay. How can what is made say about its maker,“ He didn’t make me”? How can what is formed say about the one who formed it,“ He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?

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?

Your thinking is perverse! Should the potter be regarded as clay? Should the thing made say about its maker,“ He didn’t make me”? Or should the pottery say about the potter,“ He doesn’t understand”?

You turn things upside down! Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it,“ He didn’t make me;” or the thing formed say of him who formed it,“ He has no understanding?”

You will say to me then,“ Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?”On the contrary, who are you, you foolish person, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder,“ Why did you make me like this,” will it?Or does the potter not have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one object for honorable use, and another for common use?

Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones?He who planted the ear, does He not hear? Or He who formed the eye, does He not see?

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,“ Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will announce My words to you.”So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, making something on the wheel.But the vessel that he was making of clay was spoiled in the hand of the potter; so he remade it into another vessel, as it pleased the potter to make.Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,“ Am I not able, house of Israel, to deal with you as this potter does?” declares the Lord.“ Behold, like the clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, house of Israel.At one moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to uproot it, to tear it down, or to destroy it;if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil, I will relent of the disaster that I planned to bring on it.Or at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to build up or to plant it;if it does evil in My sight by not obeying My voice, then I will relent of the good with which I said that I would bless it.

But now, Lord, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter, And all of us are the work of Your hand.

“ Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker— A piece of pottery among the other earthenware pottery pieces! Will the clay say to the potter,‘ What are you doing?’ Or the thing you are making say,‘ He has no hands’?Woe to him who says to a father,‘ What are you fathering?’ Or to a woman,‘ To what are you giving birth?’ ”This is what the Lord says, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker:“ Ask Me about the things to come concerning My sons, And you shall commit to Me the work of My hands.

Behold, the Lord lays the earth waste, devastates it, twists its surface, and scatters its inhabitants.
