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














(15) It shall dwell in his tabernacle.--Or, "There shall dwell in his tent they that are none of his," or "which is no longer his": i.e., terrors shall dwell, or, "which is none of his" may hint that it had been violently taken from some one else. "Brimstone shall be scattered on his dwelling" is probably an allusion to the cities of the plain (Genesis 19).

Verse 15. - It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his; either, it (i.e. terror) shall dwell in his tabernacle which is no longer his; or, they shall dwell in his tabernacle that are none of his; i.e. strangers st, all inhabit the place where he dwelt heretofore (compare the Revised Version). Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation. As God rained fire and brimstone out of heaven upon the cities of the plain (Genesis 19:24), so shall brimstone be scattered upon his habitation to ruin and destroy it (comp. Deuteronomy 29:23; Psalm 11:6).
