Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
“For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas;
Therefore my words have been rash.
“Wisdom is with aged men,
With long life is understanding.
“Man, who is born of woman,
Is short-lived and full of turmoil.
“Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us,
Older than your father.
“Then I thought, ‘I shall die in my nest,
And I shall multiply my days as the sand.
“I thought age should speak,
And increased years should teach wisdom.
And Job died, an old man and full of days.
The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
He asked life of You,
You gave it to him,
Length of days forever and ever.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.
Who is the man who desires life
And loves length of days that he may see good?
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change
And though the mountains slip into the heart of the sea;
You will prolong the king’s life;
His years will be as many generations.
Who stills the roaring of the seas,
The roaring of their waves,
And the tumult of the peoples.
Let heaven and earth praise Him,
The seas and everything that moves in them.
I have considered the days of old,
The years of long ago.
When He rained meat upon them like the dust,
Even winged fowl like the sand of the seas,
“With a long life I will satisfy him
And let him see My salvation.”
Your testimonies are fully confirmed;
Holiness befits Your house,
O Lord, forevermore.
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance;
And in Your book were all written
The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
I remember the days of old;
I meditate on all Your doings;
I muse on the work of Your hands.
For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.
Long life is in her right hand;
In her left hand are riches and honor.
The fear of the Lord prolongs life,
But the years of the wicked will be shortened.
A leader who is a great oppressor lacks understanding,
But he who hates unjust gain will prolong his days.
