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.

Whatever exists was given its name long ago, and it is known what man is. But he is not able to contend with the One stronger 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, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?Woe unto him that saith unto a father, What begettest thou? or to a woman, With what travailest thou?

Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.

That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—

Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble.He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, And bringest me into judgment with thee?Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.

Surely every man walketh in a vain show; Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will?Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why didst thou make me thus?

Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? and who will appoint me a time? and who is the shepherd that will stand before me?

As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us.There is no remembrance of the former generations; neither shall there be any remembrance of the latter generations that are to come, among those that shall come after.

And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?
