How then can man ... God? How can he who is born ... him?

How then can man be righteous with God?

The implicit reaction is that he cannot. Alternate translation: "A man can never be righteous before God." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

How can he who is born ... acceptable to him?

The implicit reaction is that he cannot. Alternate translation: "He who is born of a woman cannot be clean or acceptable to him." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)

he who is born of a woman

This idiom includes everyone. Alternate translation: "any person" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-idiom)
