7 Y tu principio habrá sido pequeño, y tu postrimería acrecerá en gran manera.
8 Porque pregunta ahora á la edad pasada, y disponte para inquirir de sus padres de ellos;
9 Pues nosotros somos de ayer, y no sabemos, siendo nuestros días sobre la tierra como sombra.
10 ¿No te enseñarán ellos, te dirán, y de su corazón sacarán palabras?
11 ¿Crece el junco sin lodo? ¿crece el prado sin agua?
