4For the sake of my servant Jacob, And of Israel My chosen, I call also thee by thy name, I surname thee, And thou hast not known Me.
5I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else, Except Me there is no God, I gird thee, and thou hast not known Me.
6So that they know from the rising of the sun, And from the west, that there is none besides Me, I [am] Jehovah, and there is none else,
7Forming light, and preparing darkness, Making peace, and preparing evil, I [am] Jehovah, doing all these things.`
8Drop, ye heavens, from above, And clouds do cause righteousness to flow, Earth openeth, and they are fruitful, Salvation and righteousness spring up together, I, Jehovah, have prepared it.
9Wo [to] him who is striving with his Former, (A potsherd with potsherds of the ground!) Doth clay say to its Framer, `What dost thou?` And thy work, `He hath no hands?`
10Wo [to] him who is saying to a father, `What dost thou beget?` Or to a wife, `What dost thou bring forth?
