The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
For by me shall thy days be multiplied, and years of life shall be added to thee.
For they shall add to thee length of days, and years of life and peace.
that they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
Be not over just: and be not more wise than is necessary, lest thou become stupid.
But thou dwellest in the holy place, the praise of Israel.
Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand riches and glory.
But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
As the partridge hath hatched eggs which she did not lay: so is he that hath gathered riches, and not by right. In the midst of his days he shall leave them: and in his latter end he shall be a fool.
And may live in it a long time. Which the Lord promised by oath to your fathers, and to their seed: a land which floweth with milk and honey.
The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to decline from the ruin of death.
He that walketh uprightly, shall be saved: he that is perverse in his ways shall fall at once.
