Job 38:21

You know it, you were born then,
you who have lived so long (the number of your days is great)!
[Based on Job 42:16, Job was probably in his 70s. Even though he was among the elders of his generation, it cannot be compared to God's time. Job was many generations removed from the first man, see Job 15:7. It is impossible to ignore God's ironic tone in this statement.]
