His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
Confidence - all that the father trusted in for domestic happiness-children, fortune, etc.; referring to Job's losses. He and his hopes together are cast out from his home (Job 8:14-15. "Whose hope shall be cut off and whose trust shall be a spider's web; be shall lean upon his house but it shall not stand").
Rooted out - suddenly torn away.
It shall bring - i:e., he shall be brought: or, as Umbreit, better, has, 'Thou (God) shall bring him slowly.' The Hebrew expresses, 'to stride slowly and solemnly.' The godless has a fearful death long before his eyes, and is gradually at last taken away by it: alluding to Job's case, The King of Terrors, not like the pagan Pluto, the fabled ruler of the dead, but Death, with all its terrors to the ungodly, personified. In the English version "it" means his doom shall bring him with slow and lingering pace' х tsaa`ad (H6805)]. I prefer, with Maurer, to translate, 'He shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, out of his confidence' - i:e., from his tabernacle, in which he always placed his confidence х mibTachow (H4009)].
