Gray hair is a glorious crown;
it is found in the way of righteousness.

The glory of young men is their strength,
and the splendor of old men is gray hair.

Joseph then brought his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

“You are to rise in the presence of the elderly and honor the old. Fear your God; I am Yahweh.

Now you can see that the king is leading you. As for me, I’m old and gray, and my sons are here with you. I have led you from my youth until today.

Then David praised the Lord in the sight of all the assembly. David said,

May You be praised, Lord God of our father Israel, from eternity to eternity.

So Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite replied:

I am young in years,
while you are old;
therefore I was timid and afraid
to tell you what I know.

My son, don’t forget my teaching,
but let your heart keep my commands;

Grandchildren are the crown of the elderly,
and the pride of sons is their fathers.

Better is a poor but wise youth than an old but foolish king who no longer pays attention to warnings.

Both were righteous in God’s sight, living without blame according to all the commands and requirements of the Lord.

Now, Master,
You can dismiss Your slave in peace,
as You promised.
