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 who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, Why did you make me like this?
Μενοῦνγε, ὦ ἄνθρωπε, σὺ τίς εἶ ὁ ἀνταποκρινόμενος τῷ Θεῷ; Μὴ ἐρεῖ τὸ πλάσμα τῷ πλάσαντι, Τί με ἐποίησας οὕτως;
Menoynge, ō anthrōpe, sy tis ei o antapokrinomenos tō Theō; Mē erei to plasma tō plasanti, Ti me epoiēsas oytōs;
