…wast thou made before the hills? (Job 15:7b)

We read this verse as part of our church’s ongoing study of the book of Job.

When I see verses like this one, it sets me thinking — in this case, this verse seemed a little familiar; with a little thought, it reminded me of the modern phrase “older than dirt”.

Perhaps “older than dirt” can trace back to this verse? I’m not sure, but it’s fun to speculate.
