How To Live Long

Who [is] the man who desires life, who loves [many] days in order to see good?

[Rather] a full and honest weight shall be {for your use}; there shall be for you a full and honest {measure}, so that your days on the land that Yahweh your God [is] giving to you may be long.

If you will walk in my ways by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David your father walked, then I will lengthen your days."

For "The one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and [his] lips must not speak deceit.

And you shall keep his rules and his commandments that I am commanding you {today}, [so] that {it may go well} for you and for your children after you, and so that {you may remain a long time} on the land that Yahweh your God [is] giving to you [during] all [of] those days."

{In exactly the path} that Yahweh your God has commanded, you must go, so that you may live and {it will go well} for you and {you may live long} in the land that you will take possession of."

so that you may revere Yahweh your God by keeping all his statutes and his commandments that I [am] commanding you, you and your children and {grandchildren}, all the days of your life and so you may live long [lives].

so that {you may live long} on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors, to give [it] to them and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.

so that [they] may multiply your days and the days of your children on the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors to give [it] to them {as long as heaven endures over the earth}.

for it [is] not a trifling matter among you, but it [is] your life, and through this word {you will live long in the land} that you [are about] to cross the Jordan [to get] there to take possession of it."

The fear of Yahweh adds life, but the years of the wicked are shortened.

"Honor your father and your mother, so that your days can be long on the land that Yahweh your God [is] giving you.

'Honor your father and your mother, as Yahweh your God commanded you, so that it will be good for you {in the land} that Yahweh your God [is] giving to you.

"in order that it may be well with you, and you may {live a long time} on the earth."

And you shall not build a house, and you shall not sow seed, and you shall not plant a vineyard, and it shall not be for you, but in tents you shall live all your days, so that you may live many days on the surface of the land where you [are] dwelling as aliens.'

you shall certainly let the mother go, but you may take the young for yourselves; [do this] {so that it may go well} for you and {you may live long in the land}.

Listen, my child, take my sayings, and [the] years of your life shall be great.

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

Length of days [is] in her right hand; in her left hand [are] riches and honor.

For by me your days shall increase, and years of life shall multiply for you.

A ruler who lacks understanding is a cruel oppressor, [but] those who hate unjust gain will have long days.
