6 Bible Verses about Disrespect For Old Age

Then Elisha went up from Jericho to Bethel. On the way, young boys came out of the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!”

And the people will be oppressed,
Each one by another, and each one by his neighbor;
The boy will be arrogant and insolent toward the elder
And the vulgar (common) toward the honorable [person of rank].

“But now those younger than I mock and laugh at me,
Whose fathers I refused to put with the sheepdogs of my flock.

Princes were hung by their hands;
Elders were not respected.

a defiant nation who will have no respect for the old, nor show favor to the young,

“I was angry with My people,
I profaned [Judah] My inheritance
And gave them into your hand [Babylon].
You showed them no mercy;
You made your yoke very heavy on the aged.
