Job 8:9-11

Lexham English Bible

⁹ for we are of yesterday, and we do not know,
for our days on earth are a shadow.
¹⁰ Will they themselves^[a] not teach you and tell you^[b]
and utter^[c] words from their heart?
¹¹ Can papyrus grow tall where there is not a marsh?
Will reeds flourish without water?^[d]
