NETBible

Whatever has happened was foreordained,¹ and what happens to a person² was also foreknown. It is useless for him to argue with God about his fate because God is more powerful than he is.³

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “already its name was called.”

²tn Or “and what a person (Heb “man”) is was foreknown.”

³tn Heb “he cannot contend with the one who is more powerful than him.” The referent of the “the one who is more powerful than he is” (God) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The words “with God about his fate” have been added for clarity as well.
