Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 11:17

17. And thine age shall be clearer than the noon-day ; thou shalt shine forth , thou shalt be as the morning .

i. e. The remainder of thy life and time in this world.

Heb. shall arise: Men are said to fall into troubles, and to arise out of them.

Or, above the noon-day; or above the Sun at Noon day, when it is at its highest pitch, as well as in its greatest glory.

Light in Scripture commonly signifies Prosperity and Glory; as Esth. 8. 16. Iob 18. 5. 6 & 38. 15. Pro[illegible: 1+ letters]. 4. 18. Or, if thou art in darkness, as this word properly signifies, Iob 10. 22. Amos 4. 13. i. e. If thou comest into any distress and trouble.

i. e. That 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, until the perfect day.

Marginal references: Heb. shall arise above the noon-day.; Ps. 37. 6. & 112. 4. Isa. 58. 8.; Or, [illegible: 1 word] 17. Isa. 40. 31.
