Job 15:30 - Exposition

He shall not depart out of darkness (comp. Job 15:23 , where the wicked man is threatened with "a day of darkness"). When the darkness once falls, it shall continue; there shall be no escaping out of it The flame shall dry up his branches ; rather, a flame . The "flame" intended seems to be the wrath of God. ' And by the breath of his mouth; i.e. "of God's mouth" (comp. Job 4:9 ). Shall he go away; or, pass away ; i.e. disappear, be consumed, perish.
