Job 11:19
Compare all
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.
20 But athe eyes of the wicked will fail,
And they shall not escape,
And btheir hope—loss of life!”

Job 11:19

Many shall make suit unto thee - Many shall come in a suppliant manner to ask counsel and advice. The meaning is, that he would be a man of distinction, to whom many would look for counsel. This was evidently an honor highly valued in the East, and one on which Job had formerly pridcd himself; see Job 29:7-13.
