Proverbs 10:27 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Prolongeth days; partly because it gives them a title to the promise of long life, as well as to other promises; partly because it gladdeth the heart, which doth good like a medicine, Proverbs 17:22, and preserves a man from those wicked practices which tend to the shortening of the days.

Proverbs 10:27

27 The fear of the LORD prolongethg days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
