Job 18:20
Compare all
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.”

Job 18:20

after . . . before—rather, "those in the West—those in the East"; that is, all people; literally, "those behind—those before"; for Orientals in geography turn with their faces to the east (not to the north as we), and back to the west; so that before—east; behind—north (so Zechariah 14:8).

day—of ruin (Obadiah 1:12).

affrighted—seized with terror (Job 21:6; Isaiah 13:8).
