Job 18:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 18:16

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.”
