Job 18

Job 18:4

for thee] Bildad bitterly reproves Job, for contemning them, and misbehaving himself.

Job 18:5

the light of the wicked] In a sharp and angry speech he laies out to the life the miseries of wicked men, in life, in death, and after death, to the end of this chapter. And so he doth but enlarge what he had said, chap. VIII. And seemes to imply thereby that they had not charged Job unjustly, seeing him lie under such judgements, as God did not inflict but upon ungodly men. And here he deals not with him by exhortation, and promises; as there he did; but seemes also to imply and threaten these judgements to Job, as unavoidable by him.

Job 18:13

the first-borne of death] The most terrible kinde of death, that carrieth the principality above all other kinds of death; as the first-borne doth above all the brethren. And yet death it self, in what kinde soever, is called in the next the King of terrors.
