Proverbs 9:11 – The Years of Your Life Shall Increase

Proverbs 9:11

(Increased = 120 Years – Gen. 6:3)

 For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased. (KJV)

Wisdom will multiply your days and add years to your life. (NLT)

For by me (wisdom from God) your days will be multiplied, and years of life shall be increased. (AMP)

For through wisdom your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life. (*BSB)

I am Wisdom. If you follow me, you will live a long time. (**CEV)

Wisdom will add years to your life. (***GNTD)

If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you’ll get slapped in the face; confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins. So don’t waste your time on a scoffer; all you’ll get for your pains is abuse. But if you correct those who care about life, that’s different—they’ll love you for it! Save your breath for the wise—they’ll be wiser for it; tell good people what you know—they’ll profit from it. Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-GOD, insight into life from knowing a Holy God. It’s through me, Lady Wisdom, that your life deepens, and the years of your life ripen. Live wisely and wisdom will permeate your life; mock life and life will mock you. (****MSG)
