'Fathers' in the Bible

For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out:

(Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it;

He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers ; He openeth his eyes, and he is not.

But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
