我说：‘年长的当先说话；寿高的当以智慧教导人。’

竊思有年者當先言、以道指示。

以為年老者當辯論、壽高者必以智慧訓人、

I thought,‘ Age should speak; advanced years should teach wisdom.’

I said,‘ Let days speak, and many years teach wisdom.’

I thought,‘ Those who are older should speak, for wisdom comes with age.’

I thought that age should speak and maturity should teach wisdom.

I thought age should speak, And increased years should teach wisdom.

I said,‘ Age should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’

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

Gray hair is a glorious crown. You get it by living the right way.

Old people are wise. Those who live a long time have understanding.

These are the proverbs of Solomon. He was the son of David and the king of Israel.Proverbs teach you wisdom and instruct you. They help you understand wise sayings.They provide you with instruction and help you live wisely. They lead to what is right and honest and fair.They give understanding to childish people. They give knowledge and good sense to those who are young.

By this time you should be teachers. But in fact, you need someone to teach you all over again. You need even the simple truths of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food.

“ Find out what our parents taught. Discover what those who lived before them learned.After all, we were born only yesterday. So we don’t know anything. Our days on this earth are like a shadow that disappears.Won’t your people of long ago teach you and tell you? Won’t the things they said help you understand?

My children, come. Listen to me. I will teach you to have respect for the Lord.Do you love life and want to see many good days?

King Rehoboam asked the elders for advice. They had served his father Solomon while he was still living. Rehoboam asked them,“ What advice can you give me? How should I answer these people?”They replied,“ Serve them today. Give them what they are asking for. Then they’ll always serve you.”But Rehoboam didn’t accept the advice the elders gave him. Instead, he asked for advice from the young men. They had grown up with him and were now serving him.
