⁷ I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

⁷ Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations: Ask thy father, and he will show thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

⁹ (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow);

¹⁰ Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?

¹² With aged men is wisdom, And in length of days understanding.

²⁰ He removeth the speech of the trusty, And taketh away the understanding of the elders.

³¹ The hoary head is a crown of glory; It shall be found in the way of righteousness.
