Job 11:17

Compare all

15 ^aThen surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;

16 Because you would ^aforget your misery,
And remember it as waters that have passed away,

17 And your life ^awould be brighter than noonday.
Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.

18 And you would be secure, because there is hope;
Yes, you would dig around you, and ^atake your rest in safety.

19 You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid;
Yes, many would court your favor.

<< Job 11:16

Job 11:18 >>

Thine age shall be clearer than the noonday - The rest of thy life shall be unclouded prosperity.

Thou shalt shine forth - Thou shalt be in this unclouded state, as the sun in the firmament of heaven, giving light and heat to all around thee.

Thou shalt be as the morning - Thus the sun of thy prosperity shall arise, and shine more and more unto the perfect day. This is the image which the sacred writer employs, and it is correct and elegant.
