That is, thou shalt have success in it, it shall be confirmed.¹ The word in the Original signifies, to rise up, as also to stand. So some render it here; Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall rise up to thee. When a thing that we are determined upon, prospers and comes well on, we say it riseth up to us, whereas a business that fails, falls off from us, or goeth backward. But saith Eliphaz to Job, The thing which thou decreest shall rise or come up to thy mind, to thy desire, or as some read, It shall come to thee; we say,² it shall be established.

But saith Eliphaz to Job, The thing which thou decreest shall rise or come up to thy minde, to thy desire, or as some read, It shall come to thee; we say,² it shall be established. So the word is used frequently in Scripture (Esay 40.8.) The word of the Lord shall stand. Now as the word of the Lord shal stand, so shall the word of man while it is according to the word of God. So the word is used in the Case of a virgins making a vow (
