1 There are three things in which I take special delight—things that are beautiful to the Lord and people alike:brothers who get along with each other,neighbors who are friends,and a married couple who are happy together.
2 There are three kinds of people I cannot stand, whose behavior I find highly offensive:poor people who are arrogant,rich people who lie,and foolish old men who commit adultery.
3 Unless you learn what you can while you are young, you will never be wise when you reach old age.
4 Sound judgment, good advice, and gray hair go together beautifully.
5 Wisdom, understanding, and sound counsel are appropriate to the aged and the respected.
6 Elderly people wear the crown of long experience, and they can boast of nothing finer than their fear of the Lord.
