Sirach 25:5

5 How beautiful is wisdom in the aged and thought and counsel in those who are respectable!

Sirach 25:5 In-Context

3 If you have gathered nothing in your youth, how then will you find anything in your old age?

4 How beautiful is sound judgment in gray-haired women and finding good advice in elderly men!

5 How beautiful is wisdom in the aged and thought and counsel in those who are respectable!

6 Experience is the crown of the aged and respecting the Lord is their claim to fame.

7 In my heart, I would consider nine conditions to be happy, and I'll name a tenth with my tongue— people who are made glad by their children, and who live to see the downfall of their enemies.
