( Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it;

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will show thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

Now these things happened unto them by way of example; and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages are come.

With us are both the gray- headed and the very aged men, Much elder than thy father.

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: The father to the children shall make known thy truth.

For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that through patience and through comfort of the scriptures we might have hope.

With aged men is wisdom, And in length of days understanding.

Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

We have heard with our ears, O God, Our fathers have told us, What work thou didst in their days, In the days of old.
