and thou -- thou comest in unto thy fathers in peace; thou art buried in a good old age;

and he saith, 'My son doth not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he by himself is left; when mischief hath met him in the way in which ye go, then ye have brought down my grey hairs in sorrow to sheol.'

And the eyes of Israel have been heavy from age, he is unable to see; and he bringeth them nigh unto him, and he kisseth them, and cleaveth to them;

'Go, and thou hast gathered the elders of Israel, and hast said unto them: Jehovah, God of your fathers, hath appeareth unto me, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I have certainly inspected you, and that which is done to you in Egypt;

At the presence of grey hairs thou dost rise up, and thou hast honoured the presence of an old man, and hast been afraid of thy God; I am Jehovah.

a nation -- fierce of countenance -- which accepteth not the face of the aged, and the young doth not favour;

and he hath been to thee for a restorer of life, and for a nourisher of thine old age, for thy daughter-in-law who hath loved thee -- who is better to thee than seven sons -- hath borne him.'

Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season.

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

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

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

Seen me have youths, and they, been hidden, And the aged have risen -- they stood up.

Also -- the power of their hands, why is it to me? On them hath old age perished.

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

The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.

And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

And also unto old age and grey hairs, O God, forsake me not, Till I declare Thy strength to a generation, To every one that cometh Thy might.

Days of our years, in them are seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet is their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.

With all my heart I have sought Thee, Let me not err from Thy commands.

Hearken to thy father, who begat thee, And despise not thy mother when she hath become old.

Even to old age I am He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.

I have been wroth against My people, I have polluted Mine inheritance And I give them into thy hand, Thou hast not appointed for them mercies, On the aged thou hast made thy yoke very heavy,

And with the fury of Jehovah I have been filled, (I have been weary of containing,) To pour it on the suckling in the street, And on the assembly of youths together, For even husband with wife are captured, An elder with one full of days,

which also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
