Isaiah29:16

16. Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potters 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 ?

All your subtile devices, by which you turn your selves into all shapes; and turn your Thoughts hither and thither, and pervert the order which God hath appointed.

It is no more to me, than the Clay is to the Potter, who can not onely discern it thoroughly, but alter and dispose it as he seeth fit.

And no less absurd and ridiculous is your Conceit, that I your Maker, and supream Governor, cannot discover, and controul all your Artifices at my Pleasure.
