Ben Sira 8:7

Listen to Ben Sira 8:7

Ben Sira 8:7 In-Context

5 Do not reproach a man who is turning away from sin; remember that we all deserve punishment.
6 Do not disdain a man when he is old, for some of us are growing old.
7 Do not rejoice over any one's death; remember that we all must die.
8 Do not slight the discourse of the sages, but busy yourself with their maxims; because from them you will gain instruction and learn how to serve great men.
9 Do not disregard the discourse of the aged, for they themselves learned from their fathers; because from them you will gain understanding and learn how to give an answer in time of need.
