Job 8:8-10

Amplified Bible

⁸ 
“Inquire, please, of past generations,
And consider and apply yourself to the things searched out by their fathers.
⁹ 
“For we are only of yesterday and know nothing,
Because our days on earth are [like] a shadow [just a breath or a vapor].
¹⁰ 
“Will they (the fathers) not teach you and tell you,
And utter words from their hearts [the deepest part of their nature]?
