"For by me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased." — Proverbs 9:11 (ASV)

For by me your days shall be multiplied ...—The connection of this verse with the preceding one is as follows: It is true wisdom to fear and know God, for thus length of years and life that is worth living are to be gained. (Compare to Proverbs 3:2.)
