10  Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the ^ayears of thy life shall be many.

  9  And that ye may ^aprolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

  17  And then the Lord's wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye ^bperish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.

  55  And now, they said: We know of a surety that the Lord is with thee, for we know that it is the power of the Lord that has shaken us. And they fell down before me, and were about to worship me, but I would not suffer them, saying: I am thy brother, yea, even thy younger brother; wherefore, worship the Lord thy God, and honor thy father and thy mother, that thy ^cdays may be long in the land which the Lord thy God shall give thee.

  24  For behold, they are more righteous than you, for they have not sinned against that great knowledge which ye have received; therefore the Lord will be merciful unto them; yea, he will ^alengthen out their days and increase their seed, even when thou shalt be utterly destroyed except thou shalt repent.

  33  And there are many that lie in wait to destroy thee from off the face of the earth; and for this cause, that thy days may be ^bprolonged, I have given unto thee these commandments.
