Job 11:17 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning. 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.
