Whatever exists has already been named, and what humanity is has been known; no one can contend with someone who is stronger.

God has already planned what now exists. He has already decided what a human being is. No one can argue with someone who is stronger.

Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he.

Everything has already been decided. It was known long ago what each person would be. So there’s no use arguing with God about your destiny.

Whatever exists was given its name long ago, and it is known what mankind is. But he is not able to contend with the one stronger than he.

Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with the one who is mightier than he is.

Whatever one is, he has been named already, For it is known that he is man; And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.

Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.

That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it[ is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

Whatever has happened was foreordained, and what happens to a person was also foreknown. It is useless for him to argue with God about his fate because God is more powerful than he is.

Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.

For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.

“ Woe to the one who argues with his Maker— one clay pot among many. Does clay say to the one forming it,‘ What are you making?’ Or does your work say,‘ He has no hands’?How absurd is the one who says to his father,‘ What are you fathering?’ or to his mother,‘ What are you giving birth to?’”

Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Him? Let him who argues with God give an answer.

Whatever is, has already been, and whatever will be, already is. God repeats what has passed.

If one wanted to take Him to court, he could not answer God once in a thousand times.God is wise and all-powerful. Who has opposed Him and come out unharmed?

Man born of woman is short of days and full of trouble.He blossoms like a flower, then withers; he flees like a shadow and does not last.Do You really take notice of one like this? Will You bring me into judgment against You?Who can produce something pure from what is impure? No one!

I said,“ You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.However, you will die like men and fall like any other ruler.”

“ Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them.

And He said to Adam,“ Because you listened to your wife’s voice and ate from the tree about which I commanded you,‘ Do not eat from it’: The ground is cursed because of you. You will eat from it by means of painful labor all the days of your life.It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.You will eat bread by the sweat of your brow until you return to the ground, since you were taken from it. For you are dust, and you will return to dust.”

You will say to me, therefore,“ Why then does He still find fault? For who can resist His will?”But who are you, a mere man, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to the one who formed it,“ Why did you make me like this?”

Why do you take Him to court for not answering anything a person asks?

“ Look, it will be like a lion coming from the thickets of the Jordan to the watered grazing land. Indeed, I will chase Edom away from her land in a flash. I will appoint whoever is chosen for her. For who is like Me? Who will summon Me? Who is the shepherd who can stand against Me?”

As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun.Can one say about anything,“ Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.There is no remembrance of those who came before; and of those who will come after there will also be no remembrance by those who follow them.

So the Lord God called out to the man and said to him,“ Where are you?”
