25:5. The things that thou hast not gathered in thy youth, how shalt thou find them in thy old age?
25:6. O how comely is judgment for a grey head, and for ancients to know counsel!
25:7. O how comely is wisdom for the aged, and understanding and counsel to men of honour!
25:8. Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.
25:9. Nine things that are not to be imagined by the heart have I magnified, and the tenth I will utter to men with my tongue.
25:10. A man that hath joy of his children: and he that liveth and seeth the fall of his enemies.
25:11. Blessed is he that dwelleth with a wise woman, and that hath not slipped with his tongue, and that hath not served such as are unworthy of him.
25:12. Blessed is he that findeth a true friend, and that declareth justice to an ear that heareth.
