American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age,And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out
(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing,Because our days upon earth are a shadow);
Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee,And utter words out of their heart?
For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as all our fathers were: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is no {Hebrew: hope.}abiding.
but as it is written, {Isaiah 64:4; 65:17.}Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not,And which entered not into the heart of man,Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him.
{Some ancient authorities read For.}But unto us God revealed {Or, it}them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
