For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
Wisdom is here introduced as a magnificent and munificent queen, very great and very generous; that Word of God is this Wisdom in which God makes known his goodwill towards men; God the Word is this Wisdom, to whom the Father has committed all judgment.
Commenting on Proverbs 9:1-12
For by me thy days shall be multiplied,.... These are the words of Wisdom, and contain a reason and argument why her call and advice in the preceding verses should be listened unto, since she gives long life to her followers.
Pro 9:11 The singular reason for this proverb of Wisdom is now given: “For by me will thy days become many, And the years of thy life will be increased.” Incorrectly Hitzig: “and years of life will increase to thee;” הוסיף is always and everywhere (e.g., also Job 38:11) transitive.
