Job 11:16 - Exposition

Because thou shalt forget thy misery . All thy past misery shall be clean swept away from thy remembrance, because of the happy condition whereto thou shalt be raised (see Job 11:18 , Job 11:19 ). "Sorrow's memory" is not always "a sorrow still." And remember it as waters that pass away ; i.e. remember it no more than a man remembers the shower that has passed away or the pool that is dried up.
