For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.

For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

He asked life of thee, and thou gavest it him, even length of days for ever and ever.

Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.

Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.

But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
