Job 8:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
“Though your beginning was insignificant,
Yet your end will greatly increase.

⁸ 
“Inquire, please, of past generations,
And consider and apply yourself to the things searched out by their fathers.

Because our days on earth are [like] a shadow [just a breath or a vapor].
