7 I thought, ‘Age should speak;

advanced years should teach wisdom.’

7 I said, Days should speak,

And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

7 I thought, ‘Those who are older should speak,

for wisdom comes with age.’

7 I said, ‘Age should speak,

And multitude of years should teach wisdom.’

7 I thought, ‘Older people should speak,

and those who have lived many years should teach wisdom.’

7 I said, Days should speak,

And multitude of years should teach wisdom.

7 I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.

7 I thought, ‘Age should speak, 

and experience should teach wisdom.’ 

7 I thought that age should speak

and maturity should teach wisdom.

7 I said, ‘Let days speak,

and many years teach wisdom.’

7 I thought, ‘Let days speak,

and let many years teach wisdom.’

7 I thought, ‘Those who are older should speak first.

Those who have lived for many years

should teach people how to be wise.’

7 “I thought age should speak,

And increased years should teach wisdom.
