Thematic Bible: Gray hairs, an indication of


Thematic Bible



Also, they are afraid of heights and dangers on the road;
the almond tree blossoms,
the grasshopper loses its spring,
and the caper berry has no effect;
for man is headed to his eternal home,
and mourners will walk around in the street;

Foreigners consume his strength,
but he does not notice.
Even his hair is streaked with gray,
but he does not notice.


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.

Both the gray-haired and the elderly are with us,
men older than your father.
