old people

³¹Old age is a crown of dignity, when it is found in the ways of justice.

⁹Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Do not abandon me when my strength will fail.

¹⁰The days of our years in them are seventy years. But in the powerful, they are eighty years, and more of these are with hardship and sorrow. For mildness has overwhelmed us, and we shall be corrected.

³²Rise up in the presence of a gray-haired head, and honor the reputation of an elder, and fear the Lord your God. I am the Lord.

⁷Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eye was not dimmed, nor were his teeth displaced.

³⁶And there was a prophetess, Anna, a daughter of Phanuel, from the tribe of Asher.

⁶Sons of sons are the crown of old age. And the glory of sons is their fathers.

³¹But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will take up wings like eagles. They will run and not struggle. They will walk and not tire.

¹⁸even in old age and with grey hairs. Do not abandon me, O God, while I announce your arm to every future generation: your power
