young men would see me and hide, old men would rise and stand;
When I went out to the city gate, and secured my seat in the public square,
princes refrained from talking and put their hand over their mouths;
Gray hair is a crown of glory, found on the path of righteousness.
A king sitting on the throne to judge separates out all evil with his eyes.
“You are to rise up in the presence of the gray-haired and honor the presence of the elderly. So you will fear your God. I am Adonai.
Pay to everyone what is due them—tribute to whom tribute is due; tax to whom tax is due; respect to whom respect is due; honor to whom honor is due.
Remind the people to be submitted to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed,
Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
Likewise, you younger ones, submit yourselves to the elders. And all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
