Bible Verses About Longevity: General references

God said to him, "Because you have made this request instead of asking long life or riches for yourself, or your enemies' death, but rather asked for yourself understanding to discern justice;

I am doing what you requested. I am giving you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has never been anyone like you, nor will there ever again be anyone like you.

I am also giving you what you didn't ask for, riches and honor greater than that of any other king throughout your life.

More than that, if you will live according to my ways, obeying my laws and mitzvot like your father David, I will give you a long life."

Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of ADONAI.

Which of you takes pleasure in living? Who wants a long life to see good things?

[If you do,] keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceiving talk;

My son, don't forget my teaching, keep my commands in your heart;

for they will add to you many days, years of life and peace.

For “Whoever wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit,

turn from evil and do good, seek peace and chase after it.
