Given by: the inspired teacher in Solomon's voice, redefining venerable old age. Given to: all readers, as a revealed measure of what truly makes a life mature and honourable.

In cultures that honoured age chiefly by years, the book redefines venerable old age as understanding and a spotless life.

For 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. And a spotless life is old age.

True and honourable old age is not measured by years but by understanding, and a spotless life is the real maturity.
