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 know
1 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.
