Job 18:13
_ _ Umbreit has “he” for “it,” that is, “in the rage of hunger he shall devour his own body”; or, “his own children” (Lamentations 4:10). Rather, “destruction” from Job 18:12 is nominative to “devour.”
_ _ strength — rather, “members” (literally, the “branches” of a tree).
_ _ the first-born of death — a personification full of poetical horror. The first-born son held the chief place (Genesis 49:3); so here the chiefest (most deadly) disease that death has ever engendered (Isaiah 14:30; “first-born of the poor” — the poorest). The Arabs call fever, “daughter of death.” |
Job 18:13
First — born — A terrible kind of death. The first — born was the chief of his brethren, and therefore this title is given to things eminent in their kind. |
