4 How appropriate is sound judgment in the gray-haired,and good counsel in the elderly!
5 How appropriate is wisdom in the aged,understanding and counsel in the venerable!
6 The crown of the elderly, wide experience;their glory, the fear of the Lord.
7 There are nine who come to mind as blessed,a tenth whom my tongue proclaims:The man who finds joy in his children,and the one who lives to see the downfall of his enemies.
8 Happy the man who lives with a sensible woman,and the one who does not plow with an ox and a donkey combined.Happy the one who does not sin with the tongue,who does not serve an inferior.
9 Happy the one who finds a friend,who speaks to attentive ears.
10 How great is the one who finds wisdom,but none is greater than the one who fears the Lord.
