Context of Job 18:19
17The memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name abroad. 18He is driven from light into darkness, And chased from the inhabited world. He has no offspring or descendants among his people, Nor any survivor where he resided. 20Those in the west are appalled at his fate, And those in the east are seized with horror. 21Certainly these are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God.”
