Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 18:7

_ _ steps of his strengthHebrew, for “His strong steps.” A firm step marks health. To be straitened in steps is to be no longer able to move about at will (Proverbs 4:12).

_ _ his own counsel — Plans shall be the means of his fall (Job 5:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 18:5-10.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 18:7

Steps — His strong steps, by a vulgar Hebraism: his attempts and actions; such of them as seem to be contrived with greatest strength of understanding, and carried on with greatest resolution. Straitened — Shall be hindered and entangled. He shall be cast into difficulties and perplexities, so that he shall not be able to proceed, and to accomplish his enterprizes.
