Brenton 1851
Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth.
Greek · Brenton
Μὴ ἀστόχει διηγήματος γερόντων, καὶ γὰρ αὐτοὶ ἔμαθον παρὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν· ὅτι παρʼ αὐτῶν μαθήσῃ σύνεσιν, καὶ ἐν καιρῷ χρείας δοῦναι ἀπόκρισιν.
