Contextual Overview

13"If you would set your heart rightAnd spread out your hand to Him, 14If wickedness is in your hand, put it far away,And do not let unrighteousness dwell in your tents; 15Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral defect,And you would be steadfast and not fear. 16For you would forget your trouble,As waters that pass by, so you would remember it. 17And your lifetime would arise brighter than noonday;Darkness would be like the morning. 18Then you would trust, because there is hope;And you would search around and rest securely. 19You would lie down and none would make you tremble,And many would entreat your favor. 20But the eyes of the wicked will come to an end,And escape will perish from them;And their hope is the expiring of their soul."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Also thou shall lie down, and none shall make [thee] afraid,.... Either lie down on his bed, as before, or by his flocks, and where they lie down, and none should disturb him or them; not thieves and robbers, such as the Chaldeans and Sabeans had been to him, nor lions, bears, and wolves;

yea, many shall make suit unto thee; make their supplications, present their requests and petitions for relief under necessitous circumstances, or for protection from the injuries and insults of others; as the poor and needy, the widow and fatherless, had done to him in times past, when in his prosperity, and when he was a friend unto them, and the father of them; see Proverbs 19:6; or, "the great ones z shall make suit to thee"; to have his favour and friendship, his counsel and advice, his company and conversation; he should be applied unto and courted by men of all sorts, which would be no small honour to him; see Psalms 45:12.

z רבים "magnates", Vatablus, Bolducius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Many shall make suit unto thee - Many shall come in a suppliant manner to ask counsel and advice. The meaning is, that he would be a man of distinction, to whom many would look for counsel. This was evidently an honor highly valued in the East, and one on which Job had formerly pridcd himself; see Job 29:7-13.
