For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

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.

Διοτι ερωτησον τωρα περι των προτερων ημερων, αιτινες υπηρξαν προτερον σου, αφ' ης ημερας εποιησεν ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον επι της γης, και ερωτησον απ' ακρου του ουρανου εως ακρου του ουρανου, αν εσταθη τι ως το μεγα τουτο πραγμα, αν ηκουσθη ομοιον αυτου.

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?
