In context
2Three sorts of men my soul hateth, And I am greatly offended at their life: A poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, And an old adulterer that doateth.
3If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, How canst thou find anything in thine age?
— Sirach 25:4 —
5O how comely is the wisdom of old men, And understanding and counsel to men of honor!
6Much experience is the crown of old men, And the fear of God is their glory.
