This section teaches that following God brings long life and true happiness, while living in wickedness leads to disappointment and a shorter life. The hopes of the righteous will be fulfilled, but the hopes of the wicked will fail.

v. 27: Religion and respect for God can make life longer and better. The Bible says, The fear of the Lord prolongs days . Those who fear God are protected from many dangers and receive both a full life here and eternal life after. If you want to enjoy good days, follow God and you will find happiness now and forever.
