(Occurrence 0) How can any person alive complain? How can a person complain about the punishment for his sins?
(Some words not found in UHB: what? complain humankind living_(creature) man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sins,his )
The author uses these rhetorical questions to teach that people should not complain when God punishes them. Alternate translation: “A person should not complain when God punishes him for his sins.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) How can any person alive complain
(Some words not found in UHB: what? complain humankind living_(creature) man on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in sins,his )
This could mean: (1) it is implied that mere people cannot fully understand God’s actions. Alternate translation: “How can a mere person complain” or (2) it is implied that being alive is a gift from God. Alternate translation: “How can a person who is blessed to be alive complain”
