Job 8:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 8:8

Compare all

6 If you were pure and upright,
Surely now He would¹ awake for you,
And prosper your rightful dwelling place.

7 Though your beginning was small,
Yet your latter end would ^aincrease abundantly.

8 “For^a inquire, please, of the former age,
And consider the things discovered by their fathers;

9 For ^awe were born yesterday, and know¹ nothing,
Because our days on earth are a shadow.

10 Will they not teach you and tell you,
And utter words from their heart?

11 “Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the reeds flourish without water?

12 ^aWhile it is yet green and not cut down,
It withers before any other plant.
