³² Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.

⁸ Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:

³¹ And he will send out his angels with a great sound of a horn, and they will get his saints together from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

²⁷ And God made man in his image, in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them.

⁴ Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;

⁷ Keep in mind the days of the past, give thought to the years of generations gone by: go to your father and he will make it clear to you, to the old men and they will give you the story.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Of the sons of Korah Maschil.> It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

² Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?

²⁷ And then he will send out the angels, and will get together his saints from the four winds, from the farthest part of the earth to the farthest part of heaven.
