Sirach 25:11-15
{25:11} Blessed is he who lives with a wise wife, and he who has not slipped with his tongue, and he who has not served those unworthy of himself.
{25:12} Blessed is he who finds a true friend, and he who describes justice to an attentive ear.
{25:13} How great is he who finds wisdom and knowledge! But there is no one above him who fears the Lord.
{25:14} The fear of God has set itself above all things.
{25:15} Blessed is the man to whom it has been given to have the fear of God. He who holds to it, to whom can he be compared?
Sirach 25:6-10
{25:6} How beautiful it is for a grey head to have judgment, and for elders to know counsel!
{25:7} How beautiful it is for those who are aged to have wisdom, and for those who are honored to have understanding and counsel!
{25:8} Great experience is the crown of the aged, and the fear of God is their glory.
{25:9} I have magnified nine things, overlooked by the heart; and a tenth, I will declare to men with my tongue:
{25:10} a man who finds joy in his children, and one who lives to see the undoing of his enemies.
