What the Bible says about Old Age - 1
Ecclesiastes 12:1-7
1 Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”—
2 before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain;
3 when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim;
4 when the doors to the street are closed and the sound of grinding fades; when men rise up at the sound of birds, but all their songs grow faint;
5 when men are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags himself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then man goes to his eternal home and mourners go about the streets.
6 Remember him—before the silver cord is severed, or the golden bowl is broken; before the pitcher is shattered at the spring, or the wheel broken at the well,
7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
Job 11:17
Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.
Ecclesiastes 7:10
Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.
Titus 2:3
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good.
Ruth 4:15 He will renew your life and sustain you in your old age. For your daughter-in-law, who loves you and who is better to you than seven sons, has given him birth.”
Proverbs 17:6
Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.
Psalms 148:12
Young men and maidens, old men and children.
Deuteronomy 33:25
The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days.
