Commentaries on Job 18:11
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Terrors shall make him afraid - He shall be constantly subject to alarms, and shall never feel secure. “Terrors here are represented as allegorical persons, like the Furies in the Greek poets.” Noyes. The idea here is substantially the same as that given by Eliphaz, Job 15:21-22. And shall drive him to his feet - Margin, scatter. This is a literal translation of the Hebrew. The idea is, that he will be alarmed by such terrors; his self-composure will be…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
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11-13Bildad uses the biblical idea of revenge (consequences for doing wrong) in Job's case, as do Eliphaz and Zophar.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1111. Terrors--often mentioned in this book (Job 18:14; 24:17; &c.). The terrors excited through an evil conscience are here personified. "Magor-missabib" (Jr 20:3). drive ... to his feet--rather, "shall pursue" (literally, "scatter," Ha 3:14) him close "at his heels" (literally, "immediately after his feet," Ha 3:5; 1Sa 25:42; Hebrew). The image is that of a pursuing conqueror who scatters the enemy [Umbreit].Read the comment
