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”?

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」？

他們太愚蠢了！窯匠怎能跟泥土相提並論？被造的怎能對造它的說：「你沒有造我」？陶器怎能對陶匠說：「你什麼也不懂」？

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 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”?

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, therefore,“ Why then does he still find fault? For who resists his will?”On the contrary, who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it,“ Why did you make me like this?”Or has the potter no right over the clay, to make from the same lump one piece of pottery for honor and another for dishonor?

Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise?Can the one who shaped the ear not hear, the one who formed the eye not see?

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:“ Go down at once to the potter’s house; there I will reveal my words to you.”So I went down to the potter’s house, and there he was, working away at the wheel.But the jar that he was making from the clay became flawed in the potter’s hand, so he made it into another jar, as it seemed right for him to do.The word of the LORD came to me:“ House of Israel, can I not treat you as this potter treats his clay?”— this is the LORD’s declaration.“ Just like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, house of Israel.At one moment I might announce concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will uproot, tear down, and destroy it.However, if that nation about which I have made the announcement turns from its evil, I will relent concerning the disaster I had planned to do to it.At another time I might announce concerning a nation or a kingdom that I will build and plant it.However, if it does what is evil in my sight by not listening to me, I will relent concerning the good I had said I would do to it.

Yet LORD, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we all are the work of your hands.

“ Woe to the one who argues with his Maker— one clay pot among many. Does clay say to the one forming it,‘ What are you making?’ Or does your work say,‘ He has no hands’?Woe to the one who says to his father,‘ What are you fathering?’ or to his mother,‘ What are you giving birth to?’”This is what the LORD, the Holy One of Israel and its Maker, says:“ Ask me what is to happen to my sons, and instruct me about the work of my hands.

Look, the LORD is stripping the earth bare and making it desolate. He will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants:

When they did not find them, they dragged Jason and some of the brothers before the city officials, shouting,“ These men who have turned the world upside down have come here too,
