Proverbs 9:11

A few months ago, I read Proverbs 9 in the ESV, and I noticed that a slight difference in the parallelism of verse 11 illustrates the meaning of the verse.
For by me your days will be multiplied, and years will be added to your life.
"Days will be multiplied" and "years will be added" are parallel expressions, but because the scale of the measurements increases ("days" to "years"), there's a picture of this expansion.
