Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 18:6

_ _ candle — the lamp which in the East is usually fastened to the ceiling. Oil abounds in those regions, and the lamp was kept burning all night, as now in Egypt, where the poorest would rather dispense with food than the night lamp (Psalms 18:28). To put out the lamp was an image of utter desolation.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 18:5-10.
