Job 8:4-10 New Century Version (NCV)

4. Your children sinned against God,and he punished them for their sins.

5. But you should ask God for helpand pray to the Almighty for mercy.

6. If you are good and honest,he will stand up for youand bring you back where you belong.

7. Where you began will seem unimportant,because your future will be so successful.

8. “Ask old people;find out what their ancestors learned,

9. because we were only born yesterday and know nothing.Our days on earth are only a shadow.

10. Those people will teach you and tell youand speak about what they know.
