Age and Wisdom

Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Listen to counsel and accept discipline, that you may be wise the rest of your days.

Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is attained along the path of righteousness.

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle, accommodating, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere.

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

Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.

…before the dust returns to the ground from which it came and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

So teach us to number our days, that we may present a heart of wisdom.
