The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible contains several verses that can be particularly meaningful and inspiring for retirement. These verses often focus on themes such as the value of wisdom and experience, the blessing of rest after labor, and the ongoing purpose and hope in later stages of life.
Here are some verses that might resonate with the occasion of retirement:
- Psalm 37:25
“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.” - Isaiah 46:4
“And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.” - Proverbs 16:31
“The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.” - Ecclesiastes 3:1
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.” - Philippians 4:19
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” - Psalm 92:14
“They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;” - Proverbs 20:29
“The glory of young men is their strength: and the beauty of old men is the gray head.” - Psalm 71:18
“Now also when I am old and grayheaded, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to every one that is to come.” - 2 Timothy 4:7
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” - Psalm 90:12
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”
These verses offer comfort, encouragement, and a reminder of God’s presence and guidance throughout all stages of life, including the transition into retirement. They can be a source of inspiration and reflection for those who are retiring, as well as for their families and friends celebrating this milestone with them.

P.S. This is a Great Way to Read Your Bible!
A new Bible reading program has been released which approaches the Bible in a new and unique way than most people are used to. It offers the reader an opportunity to read all of the way through the Bible – to do it chronologically – and to do it in just a year! For people who have never done that, which includes the vast majority of people, it offers them a chance to stand out in their peer groups, and to satisfy their deep desire to please the God they serve.
It is a known fact that:
Less than 10% of all Christians have ever read the Bible all of the way through. Many have never even considered doing it, or thought it was not attainable for them.
This is a refreshing approach to the Bible. It may become the standard for this way of approaching the Bible.
