long life

¹⁶I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.

³³For you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has instructed, so that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be extended in the land of your possession.’ ”

³¹Old age is a crown of dignity, when it is found in the ways of justice.

²⁷The fear of the Lord adds days. And the years of the impious will be shortened.

¹⁰For whoever wants to love life and to see good days should restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips, so that they utter no deceit.

¹⁶Length of days is at her right hand, and at her left hand is wealth and glory.

²For they shall set before you length of days, and years of life, and peace.

¹Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is just. ²Honor your father and your mother. This is the first commandment with a promise: ³so that it may be well with you, and so that you may have a long life upon the earth. ⁴And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but educate them with the discipline and correction of the Lord.

¹¹For by me, your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you.

²⁵And you shall serve the Lord your God, so that I may bless your bread and your waters, and so that I may take away sickness from your midst. ²⁶There will not be fruitless or barren ones in your land. I will fill up the number of your days.

¹⁰The days of our years in them are seventy years. But in the powerful, they are eighty years, and more of these are with hardship and sorrow. For mildness has overwhelmed us, and we shall be corrected.

¹²Honor your father and your mother, so that you may have a long life upon the land, which the Lord your God will give to you.

¹⁷I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord.

²Most beloved, concerning everything, I make it my prayer that you may benefit by advancing and succeeding in whatever may be to the benefit of your soul.
