Sirach 8:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ Despise not a man in his old age; for we also shall become old.

⁸ Rejoice not at the death of thy enemy; knowing that we all die, and are not willing that others should rejoice at our death.

⁹ Despise not the discourse of them that are ancient and wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs.
