Adam Clarke
They die in youth - Exactly what the psalmist says, "Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days," Psalms 55:23. Literally, the words of Elihu are, "They shall die in the youth of their soul."
Their life is among the unclean - bakedeshim , among the whores, harlots, prostitutes, and sodomites. In this sense the word is used, though it also signifies consecrated persons; but we know that in idolatry characters of this kind were consecrated to Baal and Ashtaroth, Venus, Priapus, etc. Mr. Good translates the rabble. The Septuagint: Their life shalt be wounded by the angels.
