- If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
- 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:)
- Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
|
- if you are pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your rightful place.
- Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be.
- "Ask the former generations and find out what their fathers learned,
- for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow.
- Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?
