Clarke's Proverbs 3:2 Bible Commentary
For length of days - Three eminent blessings are promised here:
1. ארך ימים orech yamim, long days;
2. שנות חיים shenoth chaiyim, years of lives;
3. שלום shalom, prosperity; i.e. health, long life, and abundance.
Barnes's Proverbs 3:2 Bible Commentary
Three words carry on the chain of blessings:
(1) "Length of days" (see the Psalm 91:16 note);
(2) "Years of life," i. e., of a life worth living (compare Psalm 30:5; Psalm 42:8);
(3) "Peace," tranquility inward and outward, the serenity of life continuing through old age until death. Compare 1 Timothy 4:8.
