Job 8:10 BBE

⁸  Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:

⁹  (For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade:)

¹⁰  Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you?

¹¹  Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?

¹²  When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.
