Contextual Overview

11Terrors have terrified him all around, || And they have scattered him—at his feet. 12His sorrow is hungry, || And calamity is ready at his side. 13It consumes the parts of his skin, || Death's firstborn consumes his parts. 14His confidence is drawn from his tent, || And it causes him to step to the king of terrors. 15It dwells in his tent—out of his provender, || Sulfur is scattered over his habitation. 16From beneath his roots are dried up, || And from above his crop is cut off. 17His memorial has perished from the land, || And he has no name on the street. 18They thrust him from light to darkness, || And cast him out from the habitable earth. 19He has no continuator, || Nor successor among his people, || And none is remaining in his dwellings.20At this day, those [in the] west have been astonished, || And those [in the] east have taken fright.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people,.... Neither son, nor son's son, or grandson; so the Targum, Jarchi, and Bar Tzemach; that is, he shall be childless, and have no heirs, successors, or survivors, to inherit his estate, bear and perpetuate his name among the people of his country, city, or neighbourhood. Bildad respects no doubt the present case of Job, who had lost all his children; but he was mistaken if he thought he should die so, for he had after this as many children as he had before:

nor any remaining in his dwellings; being all dead, or fled from them, through the terror, desolation, and destruction in them. Aben Ezra and Bar Tzemach interpret them places in which he was a sojourner or stranger; and Mr. Broughton, nor remnant in his pilgrimage.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He shall neither have son ... - All his family shall be cut off. He shall have no one to perpetuate his name or remembrance. All this Job could not help applying to himself, as it was doubtless intended he should. The facts in his case were just such as were supposed in these proverbs about the wicked; and hence, his friends could not but conclude that he was a wicked man; and hence, his friends could not but conclude that he was a wicked man; and hence, too, since these were undisputed maxims, Job felt so much embarrassment in answering them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 18:19. He shall neither have son nor nephewCoverdale, following the Vulgate, translates thus: We shal neither have children ner kynss folk among his people, no ner eny posterite in his countrie: yonge and olde shal be astonyshed at his death.
