Proverbs 20:29 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

The glory of young men (is) their strength (so long as they rightly use it); and the beauty of old men (is) the grey head - when it is found "in the way of righteousness" (Proverbs 16:31). The world and the Church need both: the strength of young men for active service; the experience of the hoary-headed for counsel.

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