Wisdom 4:10DRA

8For venerable old age is not that of long time, nor counted by the number of years: but the understanding of a man is grey hairs.

9And a spotless life is old age.

10He pleased God and was beloved, and living among sinners he was translated.

11He was taken away lest wickedness should alter his understanding, or deceit beguile his soul.

12For the bewitching of vanity obscureth good things, and the wandering of concupiscence overturneth the innocent mind.
