Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 15:30

_ _ depart — that is, escape (Job 15:22, Job 15:23).

_ _ branches — namely, his offspring (Job 1:18, Job 1:19; Psalms 37:35).

_ _ dry up — The “flame” is the sultry wind in the East by which plants most full of sap are suddenly shriveled.

_ _ his mouth — that is, God’s wrath (Isaiah 11:4).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 15:17-35.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 15:30

Depart — His misery shall have no end. Flame — God's anger and judgment upon him. Branches — His wealth, and power, and glory, wherewith he was encompassed, as trees are with their branches. His mouth — And this expression intimates, with how much ease God subdueth his enemies: his word, his blast; one act of his will is sufficient. Go — Heb. 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.
