Maybe saw the man on the side of the road and surmised that it was ordained by God for this particular man, this particular group to be on the side of the road, there's nothing I can do to change it.
Talvez que, ao ver o homem na berma da estrada, tivesse tirado a conclusão de que era a vontade de Deus, para aquele homem, em particular, estar na berma da estrada, e que não havia nada a fazer.
