⁵ May his life go on as long as the sun and moon, through all generations.

¹¹ For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.

⁴⁰ Then keep his laws and his orders which I give you today, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, and that your lives may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for ever.

²⁰ No longer will there be there a child whose days are cut short, or an old man whose days have not come to their full measure: for the young man at his death will be a hundred years old, and he whose life is shorter than a hundred years will seem as one cursed.

¹⁶ Long life is in her right hand, and in her left are wealth and honour.

²⁸ I will keep my mercy for him for ever; my agreement with him will not be changed.

²⁹ His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

¹⁶ Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
