Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day. The righteous man possesses an understanding brightened by the rays of Divine truth, for the Sun of Righteousness hath shone into his soul. His heart is beautified by the light of purity, diffusing a pleasant lustre around him in his conversation; and his spirit is cheered with the light of joy and consolation from the countenance of God. This light is not like that of a taper which burns itself away into darkness, but like that of the morning sun, which shines brighter and brighter, till it blazes with meridian splendour. (G. Lawson.) Parallel Verses KJV: But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. |
