6  Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy ^bfather that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?

  16  Doubtless thou art our ^afather, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O Lord, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

  8  But now, O Lord, thou art our ^afather; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
