Job 8:7-9
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 Though your beginning was small,
your future will flourish indeed.
8 Inquire of the former generations,
pay attention to the experience of their ancestors—(A)
9 As we are but of yesterday and have no knowledge,
because our days on earth are but a shadow—(B)
