Contextual Overview

11 Terrible things startle them from every side and chase them at every step. 12 Hunger takes away their strength, and disaster is at their side. 13 Disease eats away parts of their skin; death gnaws at their arms and legs. 14 They are torn from the safety of their tents and dragged off to Death, the King of Terrors. 15 Their tents are set on fire, and sulfur is scattered over their homes. 16 Their roots dry up below ground, and their branches die above ground. 17 People on earth will not remember them; their names will be forgotten in the land. 18 They will be driven from light into darkness and chased out of the world. 19 They have no children or descendants among their people, and no one will be left alive where they once lived. 20 People of the west will be shocked at what has happened to them, and people of the east will be very frightened.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people,.... Neither son, nor son's son, or grandson; so the Targum, Jarchi, and Bar Tzemach; that is, he shall be childless, and have no heirs, successors, or survivors, to inherit his estate, bear and perpetuate his name among the people of his country, city, or neighbourhood. Bildad respects no doubt the present case of Job, who had lost all his children; but he was mistaken if he thought he should die so, for he had after this as many children as he had before:

nor any remaining in his dwellings; being all dead, or fled from them, through the terror, desolation, and destruction in them. Aben Ezra and Bar Tzemach interpret them places in which he was a sojourner or stranger; and Mr. Broughton, nor remnant in his pilgrimage.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He shall neither have son ... - All his family shall be cut off. He shall have no one to perpetuate his name or remembrance. All this Job could not help applying to himself, as it was doubtless intended he should. The facts in his case were just such as were supposed in these proverbs about the wicked; and hence, his friends could not but conclude that he was a wicked man; and hence, his friends could not but conclude that he was a wicked man; and hence, too, since these were undisputed maxims, Job felt so much embarrassment in answering them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 18:19. He shall neither have son nor nephewCoverdale, following the Vulgate, translates thus: We shal neither have children ner kynss folk among his people, no ner eny posterite in his countrie: yonge and olde shal be astonyshed at his death.
