4
How attractive is sound judgment in the gray-haired, and for the aged to possess good counsel!
5
How attractive is wisdom in the aged, and understanding and counsel in the venerable!
6
Rich experience is the crown of the aged, and their boast is the fear of the Lord.
7
I can think of nine whom I would call blessed, and a tenth my tongue proclaims: a man who can rejoice in his children; a man who lives to see the downfall of his foes.
