SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:21
Ciertamente tales son las moradas del impío, y éste es el lugar del que no conoció a Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 18:21
Verse 21. Such are the dwellings ] This is the common lot of the wicked; and it shall be particularly the case with him who knoweth not God, that is Job, for it is evident he alludes to him. Poor Job! hard was thy lot, severe were thy sufferings. ON the elephant hunt to which I have referred, ver. 13, I shall borrow the following account extracted from Mr. Cordiner's History of Ceylon, by Mr. Good: - "We have a curious description of the elephant hunt, which is pursued in a manner not essentially different from the preceding, except that the snares are pallisadoed with the strongest possible stakes, instead of being netted, and still farther fortified by interlacings. They are numerous, but connected together; every snare or inclosure growing gradually narrower, and opening into each other by a gate or two that will only admit the entrance of a single animal at a time. "The wood in which elephants are known to abound is first surrounded, excepting at the end where the foremost and widest inclosure is situated, with fires placed on moveable pedestals, which in every direction are drawn closer and closer, and, aided by loud and perpetual shouts, drive the animals forward till they enter into the outer snare. After which the same process is continued, and they are driven by fear into a second, into a third, and into a fourth; till at length the elephants become so much sub-divided, that by the aid of cordage fastened carefully round their limbs, and the management of decoy elephants, they are easily capable of being led away one by one, and tamed. A single hunt thus conducted will sometimes occupy not less than two months of unremitting labour; and the entrance of the elephants into the snares is regarded as an amusement or sport of the highest character, and as such is attended by all the principal families of the country." Account of Ceylon, p. 218-226.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-21 - Bildad describes the destruction wicked people are kept for, in the other world, and which in some degree, often seizes them in this world The way of sin is the way of fear, and leads to everlasting confusion of which the present terrors of an impure conscience are earnests, a in Cain and Judas. Miserable indeed is a wicked man's death, how secur soever his life was. See him dying; all that he trusts to for his support shall be taken from him. How happy are the saints, and ho indebted to the lord Jesus, by whom death is so far done away an changed, that this king of terrors is become a friend and a servant See the wicked man's family sunk and cut off. His children shal perish, either with him or after him. Those who consult the true honou of their family, and its welfare, will be afraid of withering all by sin. The judgments of God follow the wicked man after death in thi world, as a proof of the misery his soul is in after death, and as a earnest of that everlasting shame and contempt to which he shall ris in the great day. The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot, Pr 10:7. It would be well if this report of wicked men would cause any to flee from the wrath to come, from whic their power, policy, and riches cannot deliver them. But Jesus eve liveth to deliver all who trust in him. Bear up then, sufferin believers. Ye shall for a little time have sorrow, but your Beloved your Saviour, will see you again; your hearts shall rejoice, and you joy no man taketh away __________________________________________________________________
