The shortness of life is spoken of as if it were a shadow which quickly disappears. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

# Will they not teach you and tell you? Will they not speak words from their hearts?
|
|
|

Bildad uses these rhetorical questions to rebuke Job for not agreeing with Bildad and the ancestors. They can be translated as statements. AT: "They will teach you and tell you and speak what they sincerely believe." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

|
# from their hearts
|
|
|
|
Here the word "hearts" represents their inner beliefs. AT: "that they sincerely believe" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
