Candle

Heb. ner, Job 18:6; 29:3; Ps 18:28; Prov 24:20, in all which places the Revised Version and margin of Authorized Version have “lamp,” by which the word is elsewhere frequently rendered. The Hebrew word denotes properly any kind of candle or lamp or torch. It is used as a figure of conscience (Prov 20:27), of a Christian example (Matt 5:14, 15), and of prosperity (Job 21:17; Prov 13:9).
