Proverbs 3:16 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Length of days is in her right hand - A wicked man shortens his days by excesses; a righteous man prolongs his by temperance.

In her left hand riches and honor - That is, her hands are full of the choicest benefits. There is nothing to be understood here by the right hand in preference to the left.
