# any other earthen pot among all the earthen pots in the ground
Yahweh speaks of himself as if he were a potter, and of the one who would argue with him as if that person and the rest of humanity were all clay pots. AT: "like one piece of pottery among many other pieces of pottery scattered on the ground" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
Yahweh asks this question to rebuke those who argue with him about what he does. AT: "The clay should not say to the potter ... on it!'" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
