Job 11:17 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

And thine age shall be clearer than the noon-day The remainder of thy life in this world shall be more glorious than the sun at noon. Hebrew, יקים, jakum, shall arise above the noon-day, or above the sun at noon-day, when it is at its greatest height, as well as in its greatest glory. Thou shalt shine forth Thy light shall arise out of obscurity, and thou shalt be prosperous and happy; thou shalt be as the morning Thy night of trouble shall certainly and speedily be followed with the morning of deliverance and comfort, which, like the morning light, shall shine brighter and brighter till the perfect day. Light, in the Scripture, commonly signifies prosperity and glory.
