Proverbs 10:27
The fear of the LORD prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be cut short.
BSB
ASV
The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
KJV
The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
The fear of the Lord prolongeth days,.... 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.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
