Job 18:14 - Exposition

His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle ; rather, he shall be rooted out of his tabernacle (or, tent), which is his confidence , or wherein he trusteth ; i.e. he shall be torn from the home, where he thought himself secure as in a stronghold. And it shall bring him ; rather, one shall bring him , or, he shall be brought. To the king of terrors . Probably death, rather than Satan, is intended. None of Job's "comforters" seems to have had any conception of Satan as a personal being, nor even Job himself. It is only the author. or arranger, of the book who recognizes the personality and power of the prince of darkness.
