Job 8:9 — Meaning and Application

Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

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

(For we {are but of} yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth {are} a shadow:) {nothing: Heb. not}

Shall not they teach thee, {and} tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
