Context of Job 18:15
13It devours parts of his skin, The firstborn of death devours his limbs. 14He is torn from the security of his tent, And they march him before the king of terrors. Nothing of his dwells in his tent; Brimstone is scattered on his home. 16His roots are dried below, And his branch withers above. 17The memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name abroad.

Commentaries on Job 18:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15It shall dwell in his tabernacle - Desolation is here personified, and it is said that it shall be the inhabitant, its former owner being destroyed. Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation, so that, like Sodom and Gomorrah, it may be an everlasting monument of the Divine displeasure. In the Persian poet Saady, we find a couplet which contains a similar sentiment: - Purdeh daree meekund dar keesri Keesar ankeboot Boomee Noobat meezund ber kumbed…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15It shall dwell in his tabernacle - It is uncertain what is to be understood as referred to here.

This is undoubtedly the correct…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-21Verses 11-21 Bildad describes the destruction wicked people are kept for, in the other world, and which in some degree, often seizes them in this world. The way of sin is the way of fear, and leads to everlasting confusion, of which the present terrors of an impure conscience are earnests, as in Cain and Judas. Miserable indeed is a wicked man's death, how secure soever his life was. See him dying; all that he trusts to for his support shall be taken from…Read the comment

It--"Terror" shall haunt, &c., and not as Umbreit, "another," which the last clause of the verse disproves. none of his--It is his no longer. brimstone--probably comparing the calamity of Job by the "fire of God" (Job 1:16) to the destruction of guilty Sodom by fire and brimstone (Ge 19:24).Read the comment
