Ben Sira 25:4-6
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
4 How appropriate is sound judgment in the gray-haired,
and good counsel in the elderly!
5 How appropriate is wisdom in the aged,
understanding and counsel in the venerable!
6 The crown of the elderly, wide experience;
their glory, the fear of the Lord.
