Job 8:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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

¹⁰ Shall not [the forefathers] teach you and tell you and utter words out of their hearts (the deepest part of their nature)?

¹¹ Can the rush or papyrus grow up without marsh? Can the flag or reed grass grow without water?
