3. In your youth you have not gathered, And how should you find in your old age?
4. How beautiful a thing is judgement for gray hairs, And for elders to know counsel!
5. How beautiful is the wisdom of old men, And thought and counsel to men that are in honor!
6. Much experience is the crown of old men; And their glorying is the fear of the Lord.
7. There be nine things that I have thought of, and in mine heart counted happy; And the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that has joy of his children; A man that lives and looks upon the fall of his enemies:
8. Happy is he that dwells with a wife of understanding; And he that has not slipped with his tongue; And he that has not served a man that is unworthy of him:
9. Happy is he that has found prudence; And he that discourseth in the ears of them that listen.
