Exegesis
The imperfect verb yosifu {יוֹסִיפוּ | yô-sî-p̄ū} with suffix lakh {לָךְ | lāḵ} “they will add to you” frames wisdom itself as the active agent conferring these blessings. The English preserves the Hebrew parallel nominal stacks and the causal “for” at the beginning to reflect the Hebrew emphasis.
In context — Proverbs 3:2
For they will lengthen your days and add years to your life, together with peace.
