Ben Sira 8:7

Listen to Ben Sira 8:7

Ben Sira 8:7 In-Context

5 Do not reproach one who is turning away from sin; remember that we all deserve punishment.
6 Do not disdain one who is old, for some of us are also growing old.
7 Do not rejoice over anyone's death; remember that we must all die.
8 Do not slight the discourse of the sages, but busy yourself with their maxims; because from them you will learn discipline and how to serve princes.
9 Do not ignore the discourse of the aged, for they themselves learned from their parents; from them you learn how to understand and to give an answer when the need arises.
