New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
7Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will increase greatly. 8'Please inquire of past generations, And consider the things searched out by their fathers. 9For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow. 10Will they not teach you and tell you, And bring forth words from their minds?King James Version

7Then, even if your beginnings were modest, your final days will be full of prosperity. 8For ask the previous generation, and pay attention to what their fathers discovered, 9since we were born only yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are but a shadow. 10Will they not teach you and tell you and speak from their understanding?New Living Translation
English Standard Version

7And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great. 8"For inquire, please, of bygone ages, and consider what the fathers have searched out. 9For we are but of yesterday and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow. 10Will they not teach you and tell you and utter words out of their understanding?New International Version

7Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be. 8"Ask the former generation and find out what their ancestors learned, 9for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow. 10Will they not instruct you and tell you? Will they not bring forth words from their understanding?New King James Version
