# Who has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord decreed it?
2017-06-21 20:47:54 +00:00
The author uses this rhetorical question to teach that when someone commands something to happen, it will happen only if God has already decreed that it should happen. Alternate translation: "No one has spoken and it came to pass, unless the Lord decreed it." or "What someone has commanded to happen has never happened unless the Lord decreed it." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
