Gill's Notes on the Bible

The hoary head [is] a crown of glory,.... Gray hairs, white locks through age are very ornamental; look very beautiful, bespeak gravity, wisdom, and prudence, and command reverence and respect; with the ancient Romans s, greater honour was paid to age than to family or wealth; and the elder were revered by the younger next to God, and in the stead of parents; :-;

[if] it be found in the way of righteousness; that is, if such who are old and stricken in years are like Zacharias and Elisabeth, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless; when they are found in Christ, having on his righteousness; and when they live soberly, righteously, and godly; when they walk in the ways of God and true religion; keep up family worship, and private devotion; as well as constantly attend the ministry of the word and ordinances; then are they very venerable and respectable; their old age is a good old age; and in a short time they shall have the crown of glory which fadeth not away: but otherwise a sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed; an old man in the open ways of sin and vice, laden with iniquity, is a very contemptible and shocking sight.

s Vid. A. Gell. Noct. Attic. l. 2. c. 15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Omit “if.” Literally, “it (i. e., the hoary head) is found in the way of righteousness,” comes as the reward of righteousness.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 16:31. The hoary head is a crown of glory — The latter part of the verse is very well added, for many a sinner has a hoary head.
