ever since mankind was placed on the earth,

4 Knowest thou not this of old,

Since man was placed upon earth,

4 “Don’t you realize that from the beginning of time,

ever since people were first placed on the earth,

4 “Do you not know this of old,

Since man was placed on earth,

4 “You know how it has been for a long time,

ever since people were first put on the earth.

4 Knowest thou not this of old time,

Since man was placed upon earth,

4 Knowest thou not this, that of old, since man was placed upon earth,

4 “Don’t you know

from the time humans were placed on earth, 

4 Don’t you know that ever since antiquity,

from the time man was placed on earth,

4 Do you not know this from of old,

ever since mortals were placed on earth,

4 “Did you know this from of old,

since the setting of the human being on earth,

4 “I’m sure you must know how things have always been.

They’ve been that way

ever since man was placed on this earth.

4 “Do you know this from of old,

From the establishment of man on earth,
