Job 8:8-12 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

8. For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and attend to the researches of their fathers;

9. For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days upon earth are a shadow.

10. Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

11. Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire? doth the reed-grass grow without water?

12. Whilst it is yet in its greenness and not cut down, it withereth before any other grass.
