Ben Sira 25:4

4 How attractive is sound judgment in the gray-haired, and for the aged to possess good counsel!

Ben Sira 25:4 In-Context

2 I hate three kinds of people, and I loathe their manner of life: a pauper who boasts, a rich person who lies, and an old fool who commits adultery.

3 If you gathered nothing in your youth, how can you find anything in your old age?

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.
