NETBible

Fearing the Lord¹ prolongs life,² but the life span³ of the wicked will be shortened.⁴

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “the fear of the Lord.” The term יְהוָה (yÿhvah, “the Lord”) functions as an objective genitive.

²tn Heb “days” (so KJV, ASV).

³tn Heb “years.” The term “years” functions as a synecdoche of part (= years) for the whole (= lifespan).

⁴sn This general saying has to be qualified with the problem of the righteous suffering and dying young, a problem that perplexed the sages of the entire ancient world. But this is the general principle: The righteous live longer because their life is the natural one and because God blesses them.
