LET THE SKIES POUR DOWN RIGHTEOUSNESS

I am the LORD, and there is none 

else, there is no God beside me: 

I girded thee, though thou hast 

not known me:  That they may 

know from the rising of the sun, 

and from the west, that there is 

none beside me. I am the LORD, 

and there is none else.  I form the 

light, and create darkness: I make 

peace, and create evil: I the LORD 

do all these things.  Drop down, 

ye heavens, from above, and let the 

skies pour down righteousness: let 

the earth open, and let them bring 

forth salvation, and let righteousness 

spring up together; I the LORD 

have created it.  Woe unto him that 

striveth with his Maker! Let the 

potsherd strive with the potsherds 

of the earth. Shall the clay say to 

him that fashioneth it, What makest 

thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

Woe unto him that saith unto his father, 

What begettest thou? or to the woman, 

What hast thou brought forth?  Thus 

saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, 

and his Maker, Ask me of things to come 

concerning my sons, and concerning the 

work of my hands command ye me.  I 

have made the earth, and created man 

upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched 

out the heavens, and all their host have 

I commanded.

Isaiah 45:5-12
