Job 8:8-10

8 “For (A)inquire, please, of bygone ages,
and consider what (B)the fathers have searched out.
9 For we are but of yesterday and know nothing,
for our days on earth are (C)a shadow.
10 Will they not teach you and tell you
and utter words out of their understanding?

and verify the findings of your ancestors,
