Lev 19:32 | MHM | STEP | v. 32 : Young people are told to respect the elderly by standing up before them. Old age is honorable, and God wants young people to show respect to those with gray hair. Those who are wise and good deserve even more honor. It is not enough just to stand up; their advice should be valued and their comfort should be cared for (Job 32:6,7 ). This respect should also be given to elders in leadership. Religion teaches us to show good manners and respect for those who are older or in authority. When young people act rudely toward the elderly, it shows a lack of order in society (Isaiah 3:5; Job 30:1,12 ).

v. 32: Young people are told to respect the elderly by standing up before them. Old age is honorable, and God wants young people to show respect to those with gray hair. Those who are wise and good deserve even more honor. It is not enough just to stand up; their advice should be valued and their comfort should be cared for (Job 32:6,7 ^a). This respect should also be given to elders in leadership. Religion teaches us to show good manners and respect for those who are older or in authority. When young people act rudely toward the elderly, it shows a lack of order in society (Isaiah 3:5; Job 30:1,12 ^b).
