New King James Version

Job 8:6-10 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

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

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

9. For we were born yesterday, and know nothing,Because our days on earth are a shadow.

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