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 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.

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 may answer Him— That we may go to court together!

“ Woe to the one who quarrels with his Maker— A piece of pottery among the other earthenware pottery pieces! Will the clay say to the potter,‘ What are you doing?’ Or the thing you are making say,‘ He has no hands’?Woe to him who says to a father,‘ What are you fathering?’ Or to a woman,‘ To what are you giving birth?’ ”

“ Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who rebukes God give an answer.”

That which is, is what has already been, and that which will be has already been; and God seeks what has passed by.

If one wished to dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.Wise in heart and mighty in strength, Who has defied Him without harm?

“ Man, who is born of woman, Is short lived and full of turmoil.Like a flower he comes out and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.You also open Your eyes on him And bring him into judgment with Yourself.Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one!

I said,“ You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.Nevertheless you will die like men, And fall like one of the princes.”

Certainly every person walks around as a fleeting shadow; They certainly make an uproar for nothing; He amasses riches and does not know who will gather them.

Then to Adam He said,“ Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying,‘ You shall not eat from it’; Cursed is the ground because of you; With hard labor you shall eat from it All the days of your life.Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; Yet you shall eat the plants of the field;By the sweat of your face You shall eat bread, Until you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.”

You will say to me then,“ Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?”On the contrary, who are you, you foolish person, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder,“ Why did you make me like this,” will it?

“ Why do you complain to Him That He does not give an account of all His doings?

Behold, one will come up like a lion from the thicket of the Jordan to a perennially watered pasture; for in an instant I will chase him away from it, and I will appoint over it whoever is chosen. For who is like Me, and who will summon Me into court? And who then is the shepherd who can stand against Me?”

As for man, his days are like grass; Like a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

What has been, it is what will be, And what has been done, it is what will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.Is there anything of which one might say,“ See this, it is new”? It has already existed for ages Which were before us.There is no remembrance of the earlier things, And of the later things as well, which will occur, There will be no remembrance of them Among those who will come later still.

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