How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

How long, O sluggard, wilt thou lie? how long ere thou rise from thy sleep?

Listen, my son: accept my words, and you'll live a long, long time.

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

For my husband is not at home, he has gone on a long journey:

He covets greedily all the day long: but the righteous gives and spares not.

Let not your heart envy sinners: but be in the fear of the LORD all the day long.

They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

By long patience is a prince persuaded, and a gentle tongue breaks the bone.

The fear of the Lord gives long life, but the years of the evil-doer will be cut short.

Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.

For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.

“The Lord made me
at the beginning of His creation,
before His works of long ago.

The prince who has no sense is a cruel ruler; but he who has no desire to get profit for himself will have long life.
