What wise people have told, And have not concealed from their fathers,

“ Indeed, ask now about the earlier days that were before your time, since the day that God created mankind on the earth, and inquire from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it?

Remember the days of old, Consider the years of all generations. Ask your father and he will inform you, Your elders, and they will tell you.

Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

Both the gray haired and the aged are among us, Older than your father.

It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today; A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.

For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Wisdom is with the aged, And with long life comes understanding.

Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.We will not conceal them from their children, But we will tell the generation to come the praises of the Lord, And His power and His wondrous works that He has done.

So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite spoke out and said,“ I am young in years and you are old; Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell you what I think.I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.

God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have told us The work that You did in their days, In the days of old.
