Sirach 25:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ O how comely is wisdom for the aged, and understanding and counsel to men of honour!

⁸ Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.

⁹ Nine things that are not to be imagined by the heart have I magnified, and the tenth I will utter to men with my tongue.
