Isaiah 45:10

Isa 45:10 Woe unto him that saith unto [his] father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

Ver. 10. Woe unto him that saith to his father. ] Are these fit words to a father? Is it not an impious morosity to talk unto him in this sort, Why hast thou begotten me at all? or if at all, why not rich, fair, wise? &c.

And to the woman, ] i.e., To his mother, as Isa 49:15 but such as he can hardly find in his heart to call mother.
