In context
3If thou hast gathered nothing in thy youth, How canst thou find anything in thine age?
4O how comely a thing is judgment for gray hairs, And for ancient men to know counsel!
— Sirach 25:5 —
6Much experience is the crown of old men, And the fear of God is their glory.
7There be nine things which I have judged in my heart to be happy, And the tenth I will utter with my tongue: A man that hath joy of his children; And he that liveth to see the fall of his enemy.
