"Knowest thou notthis of old time, Since man was placed upon earth, "
— Job 20:4, American Standard Version
“Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,”
“Don't you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,”
““Surely you know that it has been from old, ever since humankind was placed on the earth,”
“This I know from the beginning, since man was placed upon the earth,”
“Have you knowledge of this from early times, when man was placed on the earth,”
“Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,”
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of my haste that is in me.
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.
Knowest thou notthis of old time, Since man was placed upon earth,
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?
Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?
