For ask the previous generation, and pay attention to what their fathers discovered,

For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:

“ For inquire now of the former generation, and pay attention to the findings of their ancestors;

( which wise men have told by their fathers, and have not hidden it;

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as great as this thing is, or has been heard like it?

Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.

Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

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

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

With aged men is wisdom, 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 Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.

Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered,“ I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.I said,‘ Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.’

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.
