§ 02 · King James Bible

Isaiah 29:16

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?

Simple English

Of course, here's the verse simplified: When you mess things up, it's like clay being reshaped by a potter. Won't the thing made ask its maker, 'You didn't make me?' or the created object say, 'My creator doesn't understand?'
