International Standard Version A potter has the right to do what he wants to with his clay, doesn't he? He can make something for a special occasion or something for ordinary use from the same lump of clay.
American Standard Version Or hath not the potter a right over the clay, from the same lump to make one part a vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?
Young's Literal Translation hath not the potter authority over the clay, out of the same lump to make the one vessel to honour, and the one to dishonour?
