Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 18:15

_ _ It — “Terror” shall haunt, etc., and not as Umbreit, “another,” which the last clause of the verse disproves.

_ _ none of his — It is his no longer.

_ _ brimstone — probably 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).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 18:11-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 18:15

It — Destruction, expressed Job 18:12, shall fix its abode with him. Because — Because it is none of his own, being got from others by deceit or violence. Brimstone — It shall be utterly destroyed, as it were, by fire and brimstone. He seems to allude both to the destruction of Sodom, which happened not long before these times, and to the judgment which befel Job, Job 1:16.

Job 18:15
