The word “Woe to him who strives with his Maker”
자기를 지으신 자로 더불어 다투는 자에게 화 있을찐저 하는 말씀
Isaiah 45:8–13: WEB goes on with the quotation it opens at 45:2 and closes it at the end of 45:10: “Rain, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, that it may produce salvation, and let it cause righteousness to spring up with it. I, the LORD, have created it. Woe to him who strives with his Maker— a clay pot among the clay pots of the earth! Shall the clay ask him who fashions it, ‘What are you making?’ or your work, ‘He has no hands’? Woe to him who says to a father, ‘What have you become the father of?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you given birth to?’” Then 45:11 reads, “The LORD, the Holy One of Israel and his Maker says:” and the LORD’s words follow, “You ask me about the things that are to come, concerning my sons, and you command me concerning the work of my hands! I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens. I have commanded all their army. I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will make all his ways straight. He shall build my city, and he shall let my exiles go free, not for price nor reward,” says the LORD of Armies. Neither edition names the “him” of 45:13. The Korean Revised Version closes the LORD’s words to Cyrus at the end of 45:7 and gives 45:8–10 outside them; it reads 45:11 as a command (장래 일을 내게 물으라 또 내 아들들의 일과 내 손으로 한 일에 대하여 내게 부탁하라), and closes the LORD’s words at the end of 45:13 with 하셨느니라.
