so that no one can discover what the future holds.48
Footnotes
- 45 Heb “the day of good.”
- 46 Heb “the day of evil.”
- 47 Less probable renderings of this line are “God hath made the one side by side with the other” () and “God has set the one alongside the other” ().
- 48 Heb “anything after him.” This line is misinterpreted by several versions: “that man may not find against him any just complaint” (); “consequently, man may find no fault with Him” (); “so that man cannot find fault with him in anything” ().
