Age is no guarantee of wisdom and understanding.
David said to his officials, "Don't you realize that today one of Israel's great leaders has died?
he confuses wise, experienced advisors,
That's why I ask you to listen to me.
I once believed age was the source of wisdom;
Your tent pegs are pulled up, and you leave this life, having gained no wisdom."
and obeying your laws makes me wiser than those who have lived a long time.
They give me understanding and make me hate all lies.
You may be poor and young. But if you are wise, you are better off than a foolish old king who won't listen to advice.
I'll go and talk to the leaders. They know what God demands." But even they had decided not to obey the LORD.
At that moment Jesus said: My Father, Lord of heaven and earth, I am grateful that you hid all this from wise and educated people and showed it to ordinary people.
Not one of the chief priests or the Pharisees has faith in him.
