“And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever—describing the ultimate reward of the righteous and especially those who taught faithfulness under persecution, picturing their glorification as cosmic luminosity. The celestial imagery suggests transformation into incorruptible and permanent form. The emphasis on teachers affirms the theological importance of wisdom and faithful instruction.
