Commentary on Job 18:5

Theological / Devotional

Shall be put out. This verse begins a series of apparently proverbial sayings, showing that calamity is sure to overtake the wicked. The words here may refer to the customs of Arab hospitality, in which fires were kept burning for the benefit of strangers and guests (see Prov. 13:9 ; 24:20).
