NIVNew International Version (2011)

Whatever exists has already been named,

and what humanity is has been known;

no one can contend

with someone who is stronger.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

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.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Whatever is—it was already determined,

what will be—it has already been decided.

As for man, he cannot argue

against what is more powerful than him.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
