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?

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.

Give ear, O my son, and let your heart be open to my sayings; and long life will be yours.

How long will you be sleeping, O hater of work? when will you get up from your sleep?

For the master of the house is away on a long journey:

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

A judge is moved by one who for a long time undergoes wrongs without protest, and by a soft tongue even bone is broken.

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.
