Sirach 8:7

⁵Reproach not a man that turneth from sin, But remember that we are all worthy of punishment.

⁶Dishonor not a man in his old age: For even some of us wax old.

— Sirach 8:7 —

⁸Despise not the discourse of the wise, But acquaint thyself with their proverbs: For of them thou shalt learn instruction, And how to serve great men with ease.

⁹Miss not the discourse of the elders: For they also learned of their fathers, And of them thou shalt learn understanding, And to give answer as need requireth.
