MEM
Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.
Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,
for they are my constant guide.
Yes, I have more insight than my teachers,
for I am always thinking of your laws.
I am even wiser than my elders,
for I have kept your commandments.
I have refused to walk on any evil path,
so that I remain obedient to your word.
I haven't turned away from your regulations,
for you have taught me well.
How sweet your words taste to me;
they are sweeter than honey.
Your commandments give me understanding;
no wonder I hate every false way of life.
I am even wiser than my elders, for I have kept your commandments.
Job 32:6-9
Elihu son of Barakel the Buzite said,
"I am young and you are old,
so I held back from telling you what I think.
I thought, 'Those who are older should speak,
for wisdom comes with age.'
But there is a spirit within people,
the breath of the Almighty within them,
that makes them intelligent.
Sometimes the elders are not wise.
Sometimes the aged do not understand justice." (see Job 32-37)
Psalm 119:56
This is how I spend my life:
obeying your commandments. (see Psalm 119:49-56)
