Context of Job 18:19
17All memory of him perishes from the earth; he has no name anywhere. 18He is driven from light to darkness and chased from the inhabited world. He has no children or descendants among his people, no survivor where he used to live. 20Those in the west are appalled at his fate, while those in the east tremble in horror. 21Indeed, such is the dwelling of the unjust man, and this is the place of the one who does not know God.
