Isaiah 29:16

Read Full Chapter

You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

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?”

World English Bible (WEB)

Surely your turning of things upside down{H2017}{(H8800)} shall be esteemed{H2803}{(H8735)} as the potter's{H3335}{(H8802)} clay{H2563}: for shall the work{H4639} say{H559}{(H8799)} of him that made{H6213}{(H8802)} it, He made{H6213}{(H8804)} me not? or shall the thing framed{H3336} say{H559}{(H8804)} of him that framed{H3335}{(H8802)} it, He had no understanding{H995}{(H8689)}?

Your perversion! as clay is the potter esteemed? That the work saith of its maker, ‘He hath not made me?’ And the framed thing said of its framer, ‘He did not understand?’
