Nearby, Harhaiah's son Uzziel the goldsmith was carrying on repairs, and next to him Hananiah, a perfume-maker, rebuilt Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.

"Can a mortal person be more righteous than God? Or can the purity of the valiant exceed that of his maker?'

"Israel has neglected its maker in building palaces. Judah has multiplied its fortified cities, but I will send fire to their cities, and it will consume their fortresses."

My help is from the LORD, maker of heaven and earth.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, the maker of heaven and earth. A Song of Ascents

maker of heaven and earth, the seas and everything in them, forever the guardian of truth,

May Israel rejoice in its Maker, and Zion's descendants in their King!

Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their maker, and whoever is happy about disaster will not go unpunished.

"Where is the benefit in owning a carved image, that motivates its maker to carve it? It is only a cast image a teacher that lies because the engraver entrusts himself to his carving, crafting speechless idols.

At that time, men will look upon their Maker, and their eyes will honor the Holy One of Israel.

For your Maker is your husband; the LORD of the Heavenly Armies is his name, and the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of the whole earth.

He has not responded to iniquity in Jacob or gazed at mischief in Israel. The LORD his God is with them, and the triumphant cry of a king is among them.

For they conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity; their womb is pregnant with deception."

Those who wink their eyes are trouble makers, and the mocking fool will be brought down.

"Woe to the one who quarrels with his makers, a mere potsherd with the potsherds of the earth! Woe to the one who says to the one forming him, "What are you making?' or "Your work has no human hands?'!

All of them will be put to shame indeed, disgraced! The makers of idols will go off in disgrace together.
