3 My son, forget not my law or teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments;

² For length of days and years of a life [worth living] and tranquility [inward and outward and continuing through old age till death], these shall they add to you.

⁸ It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones.

¹⁶ Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor.^(A)

²² And they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck (your outer self).

²³ Then you will walk in your way securely and in confident trust, and you shall not dash your foot or stumble.^(A)
