RSV
15 Woe to those who hide deep from the LORD their counsel,
whose deeds are in the dark,
and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"
16 You turn things upside down!
Shall the potter be regarded as the clay;
that the thing made should say of its maker,
"He did not make me";
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
"He has no understanding"?
Humankind as pottery
See "adam" the common noun — the archetypal man אָדָם is called adam, "Man".
The adam (אָדָם) is made of adamah (אֲדָמָה) — the human is made of earth.
