'Clay' in the Bible

I will send him against a godless nation;I will command him to goagainst a people destined for My rage,to take spoils, to plunder,and to trample them down like clay in the streets.

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 formedsay about the one who formed it,“He doesn’t understand what he’s doing”?

“I have raised up one from the north, and he has come,one from the east who invokes My name.He will march over rulers as if they were mud,like a potter who treads the clay.

“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’?

Yet Lord, You are our Father;we are the clay, and You are our potter;we all are the work of Your hands.
