¹⁰ Both the gray-headed And the very aged `are' among us -- Greater than thy father `in' days.

⁶ And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: -- Young I `am' in days, and ye `are' age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.

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

⁷ Remember days of old -- Understand the years of many generations -- Ask thy father, and he doth tell thee; Thine elders, and they say to thee:

⁸ For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers,

⁹ (For of yesterday we `are', and we know not, For a shadow `are' our days on earth.)

¹⁰ Do they not shew thee -- speak to thee, And from their heart bring forth words?

¹² With the very aged `is' wisdom, And `with' length of days understanding.

²⁰ Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of the aged He taketh away.

³¹ A crown of beauty `are' grey hairs, In the way of righteousness it is found.
