Context of Job 18:14
12Now he is hungry and his strength has disappeared. Terrible trouble is ready to take hold of him whenever it has the chance. 13A bad disease eats his skin. It causes his arms and his legs to become useless and he dies. Then he has to leave his tent where he had lived safely. He will have to meet the terrible king of death. 15Other people will live in his tent. They have used sulphur to burn all his things. 16He is like a tree whose roots have become dry, and its branches have fallen off.
