Then speak, and I will reply; or else let me speak, and you reply.
But I prefer to argue my case with God All-Powerful--
My friends have rejected me, but God is the one I beg

Israel, you have no right to argue with your Creator. You are merely a clay pot shaped by a potter. The clay doesn't ask, "Why did you make me this way? Where are the handles?"
But, my friend, I ask, "Who do you think you are to question God? Does the clay have the right to ask the potter why he shaped it the way he did?
