Job 18:11
Compare all
9 The net takes him by the heel,
And aa snare lays hold of him. 
10 A noose is hidden for him on the ground,
And a trap for him in the road.
11 aTerrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet. 
12 His strength is starved,
And adestruction is ready at his side. 
13 It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his1 limbs. 
14 He is uprooted from athe shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors. 
15 They dwell in his tent who are none of his;
Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
16 aHis roots are dried out below,
And his branch withers above. 
17 aThe memory of him perishes from the earth,
And he has no name1 among the renowned. 
18 1He is driven from light into darkness,
And chased out of the world. 
19 aHe has neither son nor posterity among his people,
Nor any remaining in his dwellings. 
20 Those1 in the west are astonished aat his day,
As those1 in the east are frightened. 
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who adoes not know God.”

Barnes' Notes
<< Job 18:10   Job 18:12 >>


Job 18:11

Terrors shall make him afraid - He shall be constantly subject to alarms, and shall never feel secure. "Terrors here are represented as allegorical persons, like the Furies in the Greek poets." Noyes. The idea here is substantially the same as that given by Eliphaz, Job 15:21-22.

And shall drive him to his feet - Margin, scatter. This is a literal translation of the Hebrew. The idea is, that he will be alarmed by such terrors; his self-composure will be dissipated, and he will "take to his heels."
