Context of Job 15:32
30He will not escape from the darkness; a flame will wither his shoots, and he will depart by the breath of His mouth. 31“Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness will be his reward. Before his day it will be paid in full and his branch will not be green. 33He will shake off his unripe grapes like a vine, and cast off his blossoms like an olive tree. 34For the company of the godless is barren, and fire consumes the tents of bribery.

Commentaries on Job 15:32
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 32It shall be accomplished before his time - I believe the Vulgate gives the true sense: Antequam dies ejus impleantur, peribit; "He shall perish before his time; before his days are completed." He shall be removed by a violent death, and not live out half his days. 9. And his branch shall not be green - there shall be no scion from his roots; all his posterity shall fail.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 32It shall be accomplished before his time - Margin, “cut off.” The image here is that of a tree, which had been suggested in Job 15:30. Here it is followed up by various illustrations drawn from the flower, the fruit, etc., all of which are designed to denote the same thing - that a wicked man will not be permanently prosperous; he will not live and flourish as he would if he were righteous. He will be like a tree that is cut down before its proper time…Read the comment

But because many of God's people have prospered in this world, it does not therefore follow that those who are crossed and made poor, as Job, are not God's people. Eliphaz shows also that wicked people, particularly oppressors, are subject to continual terror, live very uncomfortably, and perish…Read the comment
