Context of Job 4:9
7Remember, I pray thee, who that was innocent has perished? and where were the upright cut off? 8Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow mischief, reap the same. By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his nostrils are they consumed. 10The roar of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken; 11The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.

Commentaries on Job 4:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9By the blast of God they perish - As the noxious and parching east wind blasts and destroys vegetation, so the wicked perish under the indignation of the Almighty.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9By the blast of God - That is, by the judgment of God. The figure is taken from the hot and fiery wind, which, sweeping over a field of grain, dries it up and destroys it. In like manner Eliphaz says the wicked perish before God. And by the breath of his nostrils - By his anger. The Scripture often speaks of breathing out indignation and wrath; Acts 9:1; Psalm 27:12; 2 Samuel 22:16; Psalm 18:15; Psalm 33:6; notes at Isaiah 11:4; notes at Isaiah 30:28…Read the comment

Our worst mistakes are occasioned by drawing wrong views from undeniable truths. 2. That wicked men were often thus ruined: for the proof of this, Eliphaz vouches his own observation. We may see the same every day.Read the comment
