And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness ... Afflictions which are now the portion of the godly (2 Timothy 3:12) seem to east a slur on their righteousness; but in "the manifestation of the sons of God" (Romans 8:19) the Lord will judge - i:e., vindicate the justice of their cause, as He did typically in the case of Job at the last (Job 11:17; Isaiah 58:8; Micah 7:9). So Christ, the Head of the Church, after having been forsaken of God, as though His righteous cause was lost, while He hung amidst darkness on the cross, was "justified' (i:e., had His righteousness vindicated) at His resurrection and ascension (Romans 1:3; 1 Timothy 3:16; 1 Peter 3:18)
