1. My spirit is pleased with three things; these are approved in the sight of God and men:
2. the harmony of brothers, and the love of neighbors, and a husband and wife agreeing well together.
3. My soul hates three kinds of things; and I am greatly distressed over their souls:
4. an arrogant pauper, a wealthy liar, a foolish and senseless elder.
5. The things that you have not obtained in your youth, how will you find them in your old age?
6. How beautiful it is for a grey head to have judgment, and for elders to know counsel!
7. How beautiful it is for those who are aged to have wisdom, and for those who are honored to have understanding and counsel!
8. Great experience is the crown of the aged, and the fear of God is their glory.
