    King James Bible - Proverbs 20:29

    The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

    World English Bible

    The glory of young     men is their strength. The splendor of old men is their gray hair.

    The joy of young     men is their strength: and the dignity of old men, their grey hairs.

    Webster's Bible Translation

    The glory of young     men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.

    SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:29

    ¶ La gloria de los jóvenes es su fortaleza, y la hermosura de los viejos su vejez.

    Clarke's Bible Commentary - Proverbs 20:29

    Verse 29. The     glory of young men is their strength ] Scarcely any young man affects to be wise, learned, &c.; but all delight to show their strength and to be reputed strong. Agility, one evidence of strength, their particularly affect; and hence their various trials of strength and fleetness in public exercises.

    And the beauty of old men is the gray head. ] They no longer affect strength and agility, but they affect wisdom, experience, prudent counsels, &c., and are fond of being reputed wise, and of having respect paid to their understanding and experience.

    John Gill's Bible Commentary

    Ver. 29. The glory of young men [is] their strength , etc.] That is the excellent thing in them, and it is to their honour when it is employed in the service of their king and country, and especially in the service of God and religion; though it does not become them to glory in it, ( Jeremiah 9:23); and the beauty of old men [is] the gray head ; an index of wisdom and prudence; (see Job 12:12). The design of the proverb is to show that both have their excellencies and usefulness, young men and old men, and should not despise one another; nor either of them be despised in a commonwealth, both being useful in it, the one for strength, the other for counsel; and so in the church of Christ; (see 1 John 2:13,14).

    Matthew Henry Commentary

    Verses 29 - Both young and old have their     advantages; and let neither despise of envy the other.
