This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
wise - (Pro 11:30). Answering to “they that understand” (Dan 11:33, Dan 11:35), the same Hebrew, Maskilim; Israelites who, though in Jerusalem when wickedness is coming to a head, are found intelligent witnesses against it. As then they appeared worn out with persecutions (typically, of Antiochus; antitypically, of Antichrist); so now in the resurrection they “shine as the brightness of the firmament.” The design of past afflictions here appears “to make them white” (Mat 13:43; Rev 7:9, Rev 7:14).
turn ... to righteousness - literally, “justify,” that is, convert many to justification through Christ (Jam 5:20).
stars - (1Co 15:41, 1Co 15:42).
