Context of Job 15:24
22He does not believe that he will return from darkness, And he is destined for the sword. 23He wanders about for food, saying, ‘Where is it?’ He knows that a day of darkness is at hand. Distress and anguish terrify him, They overpower him like a king ready for the attack, 25Because he has stretched out his hand against God And conducts himself arrogantly against the Almighty. 26He rushes headlong at Him With his massive shield.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-35Verses 17-35 Eliphaz maintains that the wicked are certainly miserable: whence he would infer, that the miserable are certainly wicked, and therefore Job was so.

Eliphaz shows also that wicked people, particularly oppressors, are subject to continual terror, live very uncomfortably, and perish…Read the comment
