Job 8:8
King James Version
“For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:”
Context
5If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
6If thou pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
7Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
8For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
9(For we yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth a shadow:)
10Shall not they teach thee, tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
11Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
