33  ^kThe lot is cast into the lap,

but its every decision is ^lfrom the Lord.

7  I form light and create darkness;

I make well-being and ^acreate calamity;

I am the Lord, who does all these things.

8  ^b“Shower, O heavens, from above,

and ^clet the clouds rain down righteousness;

let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit;

let the earth cause them both to sprout;

I the Lord have created it.

9  ^d“Woe to him who strives with him who formed him,

a pot among earthen pots!

^eDoes the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’

or ‘Your work has no handles’?
