Exegesis
The final rhetorical question introduced by umi yomar {וּמִ֣י יֹאמַ֔ר | û-mi yō-mar} ‘and who will say’ underscores human inability to contest divine will. Hebrew particles are mirrored by “for,” “thus,” “and indeed,” and rhetorical questions preserve the layered emphasis.
In context — 2 Samuel 16:10
But the king said, “What have I to do with you, sons of Zeruiah? Let him curse , because the LORD has said to him, ‘Curse David.’ Who then can say, ‘Why have you done this?’”
