Job 15:30 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

He shall not depart out of darkness His misery shall have no end. The flame God's anger and judgment upon him. Shall dry up his branches His wealth, and power, and glory, wherewith he was encompassed, as trees are with their branches. By the breath of his mouth, &c. This expression intimates, with how much ease God subdueth his enemies: his word, his blast, one act of his will, is sufficient. Shall he go away Hebrew, go back: that is, run away from God faster than he ran upon him, Job 15:26. So it is a continuation of the former metaphor of a conflict between two persons.

Job 15:30

30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
