Who can speak and have it happen if the Lord has not decreed it?

除非主命定，谁能说成就成呢？

若非主发命令，谁能说了就成呢？

若非主发命令，谁能说了就成呢？

若非主许可，谁的话可以兑现呢？

除非主命定，谁能说成，就成了呢？

除非主命定，誰能說成就成呢？

若非主發命令，誰能說了就成呢？

若非主發命令，誰能說了就成呢？

若非主許可，誰的話可以兌現呢？

除非主命定，誰能說成，就成了呢？

除非主命定，誰能說成就成呢？

非主所命、誰能言之、而即成兮、

未得主命、誰能言而有應兮。

若非主命、誰能言有則有、

Suppose people order something to happen. It won’t happen unless the Lord has planned it.

Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord has commanded it?

Who can command things to happen without the Lord’s permission?

Who is there who speaks and it happens, unless the Lord has ordained it?

Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, Unless the Lord has commanded it?

Who is he who speaks and it comes to pass, When the Lord has not commanded it?

Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

Who is there who speaks and it happens, unless the Lord has ordained it?

Who[ is] he[ that] saith, and it cometh to pass,[ when] the Lord commandeth[ it] not?

Whose command was ever fulfilled unless the Lord decreed it?

Who is he who says, and it comes to pass, when the Lord doesn’t command it?

For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say,‘ My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.

Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him:“ What have you done?”

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.

For he says to Moses,“ I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”

In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,

Now listen, you who say,“ Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.Instead, you ought to say,“ If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
