Ecclesiastes 6:10
Whatever exists was named long ago, and what happens to a man is foreknown; but he cannot contend with one stronger than he.
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.
Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.
Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.
