Sirach 8:9 CPDV

⁷  You should not spurn a man in his old age. For we are all subject to growing old.

⁸  Do not be willing to rejoice at the death of your enemy, knowing that we all die, and that we do not want others to rejoice over us.

⁹  You should not despise the discourse of those who are old and wise; instead, ponder their proverbs.

¹⁰  For from them, you will learn wisdom and intelligent doctrine, so as to serve great men without blame.

¹¹  Do not allow the discourse of your elders to pass you by. For they have learned from their fathers.
