Positive Commandment 8 “Before the gray-haired you shall rise up, you shall honor the face of old man”(Leviticus 19:32)

This verse requires us to honor a Torah scholar, even if he is not a, and an elderly person, even if he is not a scholar. If someone relates Lashon-Hara about a wise person or an elderly person in his presence, he violates this commandment.
