Wisdom of Ben Sira 25:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² There are three kinds of men I hate,
    for their manner of life I consider loathsome:
a pride-filled poor man, a lying rich man,
    and a lecherous old fool.

³ If you have gathered nothing in your youth,
    how can you discover anything in your old age?
⁴ What a pleasure is sound judgment in those with gray hair,
    and wise counsel with those advanced in years.
