“Woe to you
Who strive with your Maker!
Woe to you
Earthen vessels who strive
With the potter!
Does the clay say
To the one him who fashions it?
‘What are you making?’
Does it say?
‘Your work has no handles.’
Woe to anyone
Who says to a father!
‘What are you begetting?’
Woe to anyone
Who says to a woman!
‘With what are you in labor with?’”
This curse is the only time in Second Isaiah that any curse appears. Yahweh was against anyone who talks back to their maker. We are all clay. Do not ask your potter, what are you making? Do not complain about the work made by others that does not have handles. You do not ask your father what he is begetting. The same thing applies to a woman in labor. You do not ask her with what is she in labor with?
