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.
