רְאֵ֖ה אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים כִּ֣י מִ֤י יוּכַל֙ לְתַקֵּ֔ן אֵ֖ת אֲשֶׁ֥ר עִוְּתֽוֹ׃
Masdan mo ang gawa ng Diyos; sapagkat sino ang makapagtutuwid sa ginawa Niyang baluktot?
Ecclesiastes
Do not say: How is it that the earlier days were better than these? [i.e., that the earlier tzaddikim merited more good than today's] For not with reason do you ask this [(for all is relative to the merit of the generations)]
