6 How beautiful it is for a grey head to have judgment, and for elders to know counsel!
7 How beautiful it is for those who are aged to have wisdom, and for those who are honored to have understanding and counsel!
8 Great experience is the crown of the aged, and the fear of God is their glory.
9 I have magnified nine things, overlooked by the heart; and a tenth, I will declare to men with my tongue:
10 a man who finds joy in his children, and one who lives to see the undoing of his enemies.
11 Blessed is he who lives with a wise wife, and he who has not slipped with his tongue, and he who has not served those unworthy of himself.
12 Blessed is he who finds a true friend, and he who describes justice to an attentive ear.
