Elderly

• Manners

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear thy God: I am the LORD.

Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

• Elect
• Angel
• Backsliders

Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren; The elder women as mothers; the younger as sisters, with all purity.

A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

• Wisdom

Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

Hearken unto thy father that begat thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.

• Barzillai
• Citizens
• Liberality

Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even fourscore years old: and he had provided the king of sustenance while he lay at Mahanaim; for he was a very great man.

• Character
• Women

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,

• Dream

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

• Miracles

For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.

Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.

And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

• Jesus
• Children
• Fasting

And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
