Albert Barnes Commentary Proverbs 3:2

"For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee." — Proverbs 3:2 (ASV)

Three words carry on the chain of blessings:

1. Length of days (see the Psalms 91:16 note);
2. Years of life, that is, of a life worth living (Psalms 42:8);
3. Peace, tranquility inward and outward, the serenity of life continuing through old age until death. Compare 1 Timothy 4:8.
