Hoffnung für Alle
7 Was du früher besessen hast,
wird dir gering erscheinen, verglichen mit dem,
was Gott dir schenken wird!
8 Schau doch nur auf die früheren Generationen,
und achte auf die Weisheit unserer Väter!
9 Denn unser Leben währt nur kurze Zeit.

wie ein Schatten huschen unsere Tage vorüber.
Job 8:7-9
New International Version
Job 8:7-9
New King James Version
7 Though your beginning was small,
Yet your latter end would (A)increase abundantly.
8 “For(B) inquire, please, of the former age,
And consider the things discovered by their fathers;
9 For (C)we were born yesterday, and know [a]nothing,
Because our days on earth are a shadow.
