for they shall add length of days and long life and peace to you.

Length of days is in her right hand, riches and honor in her left hand.

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

He asked life from You; You give to him length of days forever and ever.

Come, you children, give heed to me; I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking guile.

With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.

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

He will shake off his unripe grape like the vine, and cast off his blossom like the olive.

Will you keep to the old way which wicked men have trod,

who were snatched away before their time, whose foundations were poured out by the flood?

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

Do not be overly wicked, and do not be a fool; why should you die before your time?

The partridge sets on eggs and does not hatch them; in the same way he who gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the middle of his days, and at his end he shall be a fool.

But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?
