Job 8:8-10
For ask the previous generation, and pay attention to what their ancestors discovered,since we were born only yesterday and know nothing. Our days on earth are but a shadow.Will they not teach you and tell you and speak from their understanding?

Job 4:12
A word was brought to me in secret; my ears caught a whisper of it.
-
Psalms 78:3-4
things we have heard and known and that our ancestors have passed down to us.We will not hide them from their children, but will tell a future generation the praiseworthy acts of the LORD, his might, and the wondrous works he has performed.

Job 15:17-18
Listen to me and I will inform you. I will describe what I have seen,what the wise have declared and not concealed, that came from their ancestors,

Job 12:9-25
Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?The life of every living thing is in his hand, as well as the breath of all humanity.Doesn’t the ear test words as the palate tastes food?Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life.Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are his.Whatever he tears down cannot be rebuilt; whoever he imprisons cannot be released.When he withholds water, everything dries up, and when he releases it, it destroys the land.True wisdom and power belong to him. The deceived and the deceiver are his.He leads counselors away barefoot and makes judges go mad.He releases the bonds put on by kings and fastens a belt around their waists.He leads priests away barefoot and overthrows established leaders.He deprives trusted advisers of speech and takes away the elders’ good judgment.He pours out contempt on nobles and disarms the strong.He reveals mysteries from the darkness and brings the deepest darkness into the light.He makes nations great, then destroys them; he enlarges nations, then leads them away.He deprives the world’s leaders of reason, and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.They grope around in darkness without light; he makes them stagger like a drunkard.

Job 5:9-16
He does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields.He sets the lowly on high, and mourners are lifted to safety.He frustrates the schemes of the crafty so that they achieve no success.He traps the wise in their craftiness so that the plans of the deceptive are quickly brought to an end.They encounter darkness by day, and they grope at noon as if it were night.He saves the needy from their sharp words and from the clutches of the powerful.So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.

Job 5:27
We have investigated this, and it is true! Hear it and understand it for yourself.

Job 42:3-6
You asked,“ Who is this who conceals my counsel with ignorance?” Surely I spoke about things I did not understand, things too wondrous for me to know.You said,“ Listen now, and I will speak. When I question you, you will inform me.”I had heard reports about you, but now my eyes have seen you.Therefore, I reject my words and am sorry for them; I am dust and ashes.
