Job 8:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “Find out what our parents taught.
    Discover what those who lived before them learned.
⁹ After all, we were born only yesterday.
    So we don’t know anything.
    Our days on this earth are like a shadow that disappears.
¹⁰ Won’t your people of long ago teach you and tell you?
    Won’t the things they said help you understand?
