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.

先前所有的，早已起了名，人早知道人是如何的，不能与比自己强壮的相争。

凡生於世者、名已先定、皆知是人耳、或作世人如何早已命定不能與力大於己者爭、

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

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.

“ God isn’t a mere human being like me. I can’t answer him. We can’t take each other to court.

How terrible it will be for anyone who argues with their Maker! They are like a broken piece of pottery lying on the ground. Does clay say to a potter,“ What are you making?” Does a pot say,“ The potter doesn’t have any skill”?How terrible it will be for anyone who says to a father,“ Why did you give me life?” How terrible for anyone who says to a mother,“ Why have you brought me into the world?”

“ I am the Mighty One. Will the man who argues with me correct me? Let him who brings charges against me answer me!”

Everything that now exists has already been. And what is coming has existed before. God will judge those who treat others badly.

They might wish to argue with him. But they couldn’t answer him even once in a thousand times.His wisdom is deep. His power is great. No one opposes him and comes away unharmed.

Human beings have only a few days to live. Their lives are full of trouble.They grow like flowers, and then they dry up. They are like shadows that quickly disappear.“ God, do you even notice them? Will you let them appear in your court?Who can bring what is pure from something that isn’t pure? No one!

“ I said,‘ You leaders are like gods. You are all children of the Most High God.’But you will die, like mere human beings. You will die like every other leader.”

People are only shadows as they go here and there. They rush around, but it doesn’t mean anything. They pile up wealth, but they don’t know who will finally get it.

The Lord God said to Adam,“ You listened to your wife’s suggestion. You ate fruit from the tree I warned you about. I said,‘ You must not eat its fruit.’“ So I am putting a curse on the ground because of what you did. All the days of your life you will have to work hard. It will be painful for you to get food from the ground.You will eat plants from the field, even though the ground produces thorns and prickly weeds.You will have to work hard and sweat a lot to produce the food you eat. You were made out of the ground. You will return to it when you die. You are dust, and you will return to dust.”

One of you will say to me,“ Then why does God still blame us? Who can oppose what he wants to do?”But you are a mere human being. So who are you to talk back to God? Scripture says,“ Can what is made say to the one who made it,‘ Why did you make me like this?’ ”( Isaiah 29:16; 45:9)

Why do you claim that God never answers anybody’s questions?

“ I will be like a lion coming up from the bushes by the Jordan River. I will hunt in rich grasslands. I will chase you from your land in an instant. What nation will I choose to do this? Which one will I appoint? Is anyone like me? Who would dare to argue with me? What leader can stand against me?”

The life of human beings is like grass. People grow like the flowers in the field.

Everything that has ever been will come back again. Everything that has ever been done will be done again. Nothing is new on earth.There isn’t anything about which someone can say,“ Look! Here’s something new.” It was already here long ago. It was here before we were.No one remembers the people of long ago. Even those who haven’t been born yet won’t be remembered by those who will be born after them.

But the Lord God called out to the man.“ Where are you?” he asked.
