SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:27
¶ El temor del SEÑOR aumentará los días; mas los años de los impíos serán acortados.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. The fear of the Lord prolongeth days , etc.] Not beyond the time fixed in the unalterable purposes and decrees of God, ( Job 14:5); but longer than some others, or than those that fear the Lord expect to live; or longer than, according to the course of nature, and the weakness of their constitutions, it could be thought they should live. Long life is promised to them that fear the Lord; godliness has the promise of this life and of that to come; the fear of the Lord is the means of preserving persons from those things which are pernicious to the health of men, and so of prolonging their days; as well as it has length of days, for ever and ever, even eternal life, annexed to it; (see Psalm 34:11-14); but the years of the wicked shall be shortened ; through diseases, which their sins bring upon them, which cut them off before they have lived out half their days; or by means of which, their sins, they come into the hand of the civil magistrate, and die before their time; or are taken off in their full strength by the immediate judgment of God, as were Ananias and Sapphira; and so they die in the midst of their days; and before the time, which, according to the course of nature, and the common period of life, in all human probability they might have arrived unto, ( Psalm 55:23 Ecclesiastes 7:17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27, 28 - What man is he that loves life? Let him fear God, and that will secur to him life enough in this world, and eternal life in the other.
