    Default " … As your days, …" versus " … as your days, …"

    Examples:

    Deuteronomy 33:25

    "… As your days, so shall your strength be."

    "… as your days, so shall your strength be."


    Can I start this verse or any other statement preceded by ellipsis with an upper case letter? I want to make it a rule. By the way, I noticed that after ellipsis native speakers using either way. Is it a style?

    No. You have indicated that 'as' is not the first word of a sentence.
