Commentary

Commentary on Job 27:18

Theological / Devotional

Moth. A symbol of fragility, decay, and weakness.

Booth. This refers to huts, or lodges of boughs, set up in vineyards or orchards for temporary occupancy (see Isa. 1:8; Lam. 2:6). They were habitations of the weakest and frailest kind. The wicked lack stability, permanency, and security.
