Job 32:7

³¹Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.

¹²With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.

¹²For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.

¹¹Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD. ¹²Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

⁶King Rehoboam took counsel with the old men who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, “What counsel do you give me to answer these people?”

⁷They replied, “If you will be a servant to this people today, and will serve them, and answer them with good words, then they will be your servants forever.”

⁸But he abandoned the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men who had grown up with him, who stood before him.

⁸“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers. ⁹(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow.) ¹⁰Shall they not teach you, tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
