Thou art

For you are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us; you, O LORD, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.

Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD, Israel is my firstborn son,

Do you thus repay the LORD, you foolish and senseless people? Is not he your father, who created you, who made you and established you?

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

Are the clay

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"?

"Woe to him who strives with him who formed him, a pot among earthen pots! Does the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?' or 'Your work has no handles'?

"Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words."

But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?"

All are

everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."

Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you; you are my servant; O Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.

Your hands fashioned and made me, and now you have destroyed me altogether.

Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.

The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.

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