Indeed, You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer; Your name is from everlasting.

And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says Jehovah: Israel is My son, My firstborn.

Do you deal thus with Jehovah, O foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father, who bought you? Has He not made you and established you?

For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

O your perversity! Shall the former be esteemed as the potter's clay; for shall the product say of him who made it, He did not make me? Or shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, He has had no understanding?

Woe to him who strives with the One who formed him, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to the one who forms it, What are you making? Or your work, He has no hands?

Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause you to hear My Words.

And the vessel that he made of clay was ruined in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it.

O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hands, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

No, rather, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, Why have you made me like this?

What if God, determining to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath rendered fit unto destruction,

whom He also called, not only of us Jews, but also of the Gentiles?

everyone who is called by My name; for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for you are My servant; I have formed you; you are My servant; O Israel, you shall not be forgotten by Me.

Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb: I am Jehovah, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens alone, who spreads out the earth by Myself;

Your hands have made me and fashioned me together all around; yet You swallow me up.

Remember, I beseech You, that You have made me like clay. And will You bring me back and return me to dust?

Know that Jehovah, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

JOD: Your hands have made me and formed me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your Commandments.

Jehovah will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Jehovah, is eternal; do not forsake the works of Your hands.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
