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.

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.

3And God said: “My spirit shall not remain in man forever, because he is flesh. And so his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.”

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.
