EXPLANATION

Verse 31. Rising. Hebrew “when he goeth forth in his might.” Let the just advance in virtue, and glory, as the sun becomes more beautiful and hot as he leaves the horizon, on a clear summer day. This comparison is often applied to the servants of God. Sirach 16:16. 2 Kennicott. 23:5. Matthew 13:45. Calmet.
