Job 18:18

Job 18:18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

Ver. 18. He shall be driven out of light into darkness ] Heb. They shall drive him; sc. the devils shall drive him out of the light of life into outer darkness, as they did that rich wretch, Luke 12:20 ; confer Matthew 8:12 ; Matthew 25:30 . The Dutch translation readeth it, Men shall drive him. Others understand it to be his troubles and sorrows.

And chased out of the world ] As Tarquin was by Collatine, as Phocas was by Heraclius; kicked off the stage of the world, as one phraseth it; or, as Job saith of some wicked, buried before half dead, Job 27:15 . "Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place," Job 27:23 .
