This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Job_11:16 Because thou shalt forget [thy] misery, [and] remember [it] as waters [that] pass away:
Ver. 16. Because thou shalt forget thy misery] There being no fear left, or footstep thereof remaining to renew thy grief, Gen_41:30. Remember thy former trouble thou shall, with thankfulness for a better condition now, but not otherwise; all the marks of former affliction shall be worn out. See Isa_65:13; Isa_65:16, so that thou shalt discount all the evil thou hast endured.
And remember it as waters that pass away] As a land flood soon gone, as a light cloud quickly over; or as Noah’s flood, which that good man thought upon, when it was past, with thankfulness to God, offering sacrifice for his safety. So shalt thou, Job; and as a man seldom thinketh how much water passeth by his habitation by day and by night, or if he do, yet it is no trouble to his mind, no more shall the remembrance of former miseries be to thine.
