Context of Job 15:32
30He will not escape from darkness; The flame will dry up his shoot, And he will go away by the breath of His mouth. 31Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For his reward will be emptiness. It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green. 33He will drop off his unripe grape like the vine, And will cast off his flower like the olive tree. 34For the company of the godless is barren, And fire consumes the tents of the corrupt.

Commentaries on Job 15:32
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32It shall be accomplished before his time - I believe the Vulgate gives the true sense: Antequam dies ejus impleantur, peribit; "He shall perish before his time; before his days are completed." He shall be removed by a violent death, and not live out half his days. 9. And his branch shall not be green - there shall be no scion from his roots; all his posterity shall fail.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 32It shall be accomplished before his time - Margin, “cut off.” The image here is that of a tree, which had been suggested in Job 15:30. Here it is followed up by various illustrations drawn from the flower, the fruit, etc., all of which are designed to denote the same thing - that a wicked man will not be permanently prosperous; he will not live and flourish as he would if he were righteous. He will be like a tree that is cut down before its proper time…Read the comment
- 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. But because many of God's people have prospered in this world, it does not therefore follow that those who are crossed and made poor, as Job, are not God's people. Eliphaz shows also that wicked people, particularly oppressors, are subject to continual terror, live very uncomfortably, and perish…Read the comment

Literally, "it (the tree to which he is compared, Job 15:30, or else his life) shall not be filled up in its time"; that is, "he shall be ended before his time." shall not be green--image from a withered tree; the childless extinction of the wicked.Read the comment
