It shall be accomplished before his time, And his branch shall not be green.
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, And shall cast off his flower as the olive-tree.
For length of days, and years of life, And peace, will they add to thee.
For by me thy days shall be multiplied, And the years of thy life shall be increased.
Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?
