Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? |
But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” |
On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it? |
|
But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?” |
But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus? |
O man, nay, surely, as for you, who are you who contradicts God? The moldable material shall not say to the one who molds it, Why did you make me thus, shall it? |

But the question really is this: “Who are you, a man, to make any such reply to God?” When a craftsman makes anything he does expect it to turn round and say, “Why did you make me like this?” |
One the contrary, friend, who are you anyway that you would answer back to God? Can the clay that is molded ask the man who molds it, “Why did you make me like this?” |
