It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
It - terror shall haunt, etc.; and not, as Umbreit, another, which the last clause disproves: for the fire having consumed his tabernacle, none other can dwell in it except the terror which haunts deserted dwellings. None of his - it is his no longer, but desolate and untenanted.
Brimstone - perhaps comparing the calamity of Job by the "fire of God" (Job 1:16), to the destruction of guilty Sodom by fire and brimstone (Genesis 19:24); but the language is too vague to make the allusion certain (cf. Psalms 11:6, "Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire, and brimstone").
