Verse 30
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
Depart — His misery shall have no end.
Flame — God's anger and judgment upon him.
Branches — His wealth, and power, and glory, wherewith he was encompassed, as trees are with their branches.
His mouth — And this expression intimates, with how much ease God subdueth his enemies: his word, his blast; one act of his will is sufficient.
Go — Heb. go back: that is, run away from God faster than he ran upon him, verse26. So it is a continuation of the former metaphor of a conflict between two persons.
