Job 8:8


Job 8:7 Job 8:8 (KJV) Job 8:9
Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
(For we [are but of] yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth [are] a shadow:)
