Context of Job 18:19
17His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street. 18He is thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world. He has no posterity or progeny among his people, and no survivor where he used to live. 20They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east. 21Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, such is the place of him who knows not God."
