Job 18
1. Bildad reproves Job for presumption and impatience
5. The calamities of the wicked














He is torn
The phrase "He is torn" suggests a violent and forceful removal. In the Hebrew text, the word used here is "yissach," which conveys the idea of being plucked or snatched away. This imagery reflects the suddenness and inevitability of divine judgment. In the context of Bildad's speech, it underscores the belief that the wicked cannot escape the consequences of their actions. The tearing away is not gentle but abrupt, symbolizing the harsh reality of divine retribution.

from the shelter of his tent
The "shelter of his tent" represents a place of safety and security. In ancient times, a tent was not just a physical dwelling but a symbol of one's home, family, and personal domain. The Hebrew word "ohel" is used here, which often denotes a temporary dwelling, emphasizing the transient nature of earthly security. This phrase serves as a reminder that material possessions and earthly comforts are fleeting and cannot protect one from the ultimate judgment of God.

and is marched off
The phrase "and is marched off" implies being led away against one's will. The Hebrew verb "tsa'ad" suggests a deliberate and unavoidable movement. This imagery evokes the idea of being taken captive or led to a place of judgment. It highlights the powerlessness of the wicked in the face of divine authority. The inevitability of this march underscores the certainty of divine justice, where the wicked are held accountable for their actions.

to the king of terrors
The "king of terrors" is a vivid personification of death. In the Hebrew text, the phrase "melek ballahot" is used, where "melek" means king and "ballahot" refers to terrors or horrors. This depiction of death as a king suggests its dominion and authority over all humanity. In the context of Bildad's speech, it serves as a stark warning of the ultimate fate awaiting the wicked. The "king of terrors" is a reminder of the finality and inescapability of death, urging the reader to consider the eternal consequences of their earthly actions.

(14) His confidence shall be rooted out.--Rather, he shall be rooted out of his tent which he trusted was his own.

The king of terrors.--Perhaps the most remarkable personification of unseen forces to be found in the Bible.

Verse 14. - His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle; rather, he shall be rooted out of his tabernacle (or, tent), which is his confidence, or wherein he trusteth; i.e. he shall be torn from the home, where he thought himself secure as in a stronghold. And it shall bring him; rather, one shall bring him or, he shall be brought. To the king of terrors. Probably death, rather than Satan, is intended. None of Job's "comforters" seems to have had any conception of Satan as a personal being, nor even Job himself. It is only the author. or arranger, of the book who recognizes the personality and power of the prince of darkness.
