Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?

The verse 16 is found in chapter 29 of Isaiah. Those who attempt to hide their plans from God act as though the potter does not know the clay. Isaiah reverses the relationship between creature and Creator: human beings cannot determine what God should do. The final restoration includes the humble and poor who will again learn to sanctify the Holy One of Jacob.

Wie seid ihr so verkehrt! Gleich als wenn des Töpfers Ton gedächte und ein Werk spräche von seinem Meister: Er hat mich nicht gemacht! und ein Gemächte spräche von seinem Töpfer: Er kennt mich nicht!
Vuestra subversión ciertamente será reputada como el barro del alfarero. ¿La obra dirá de su hacedor, No me hizo; y dirá el vaso de aquel que lo ha formado, No entendió?
¡Qué trastorno el suyo! ¿Acaso se considerará al alfarero como el barro? ¿Dirá la obra de su hacedor: «No me hizo», o lo formado del que lo formó: «No tiene entendimiento»?
Quelle perversité est la vôtre! Le potier doit-il être considéré comme de l'argile, Pour que l'ouvrage dise de l'ouvrier: Il ne m'a point fait? Pour que le vase dise du potier: Il n'a point d'intelligence?
Oh vostra perversità! sarebbe il vasellaio reputato come l’argilla? l’opera direbbe ella del suo fattore: Egli non mi ha fatta? e la cosa formata direbbe ella del suo formatore: Egli non l’ha intesa?
Vós tudo perverteis, como se o oleiro fosse igual ao barro, e a obra dissesse do seu artífice: Não me fez; e o vaso formado dissesse do seu oleiro: Nada sabe.
你們把事情顛倒了, 豈可看陶匠如陶土呢? 受造物豈可論創造者說, 「他並沒有造我」? 製成物豈可論製作者說, 「他根本不懂」?
