Job 8:7-9
Good News Translation

7 All the wealth you lost will be nothing
    compared with what God will give you then.

8 (A)Look for a moment at ancient wisdom;
    consider the truths our ancestors learned.
9 Our life is short, we know nothing at all;
    we pass like shadows across the earth.
