This is a follow-up on my poem about Symbolic Youth. I needed so comfort myself with my on-coming gray-hair days, so I looked up scriptures pertaining to age. They are as follows:
Proverbs 16:31 “Gray hair is a crown of splendor; it is attained in the way of righteousness.”
Proverbs 20:29 “The glory of young men is their strength, gray hair the spendor of the old.”
Isaiah 46:4 “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have
made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue.”
Ruth 4:15a “He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age.”
Leviticus 19:32 “Stand up in the presence of the aged, and show respect for the elderly and
revere your God. I am the Lord.”
Job 12:12 “Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long-life bring understanding?”
1 Timothy 5:1-2 “Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father.
Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger sisters, with absolute
purity.”
Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
Job 32:7 “I thought, ‘Age should speak; advanced year should teach wisdom.’”
