TSNTyndale Study Notes:

29:16 Potter . . . clay: The Lord’s sovereignty is beyond challenge. Scripture does not discourage asking God hard questions, but there is no place for resistance to God’s will (see 10:15; 45:9; 64:8; Rom 9:20).
• He didn’t make me: Such claims against God demonstrate a total unwillingness to recognize God’s intimate involvement with every aspect of a person’s life.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(Occurrence 0) You turn things upside down

(Some words not found in UHB: turn_~_upsidedown,you_all if as,clay the,potter regarded that/for/because/then/when say what_is_made of,maker,its not make,me and,what_is_formed he/it_had_said of,formed,it not he/it_understood )

This is an idiom that means to distort what is true. Alternate translation: “You make things opposite of the way they should be” or “You distort the truth”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

(Occurrence 0) Should the potter be considered like clay, so that the thing that is made should say about him who made it & “He does not understand”?

Yahweh who created humans is spoken of as if he were a potter and humans were the clay. This metaphor emphasizes that it is foolish for humans to reject or criticize the one who created them. Alternate translation: “Should you consider me, your maker, to be like the clay rather than the potter? It is as if a potter created something, and that thing said about the potter, ‘He did not make me,’ or ‘He does not understand.’”
