Context of Job 18:19
17All memory of their existence will fade from the earth; no one will remember their names. 18They will be thrust from light into darkness, driven from the world. They will have neither children nor grandchildren, nor any survivor in the place where they lived. 20People in the west are appalled at their fate; people in the east are horrified. 21They will say, ‘This was the home of a wicked person, the place of one who rejected God.’”
