If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. See what you did in [7:27](../07/27.md). Alternate translation: [asking him who appointed him a ruler and a judge]

See how you translated this rhetorical question in [7:27](../07/27.md). Alternate translation: [No one appointed you a ruler and a judge!]
