Job 8:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ We have not lived for very long,
    so we do not know very much.
Our lives are like shadows that quickly disappear.
¹⁰ But the people who lived before us can teach you.
    They can tell you the things that they have learned.
¹¹ Some plants only grow tall in wet ground.
    Reeds only grow well where there is water.
