Job 18:19

19 They will have neither children nor grandchildren, nor any survivor in the place where they lived.

Job 18:19 Meaning and Commentary

Job 18:19

He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people
Neither son, nor son's son, or grandson; so the Targum, Jarchi, and Bar Tzemach; that is, he shall be childless, and have no heirs, successors, or survivors, to inherit his estate, bear and perpetuate his name among the people of his country, city, or neighbourhood. Bildad respects no doubt the present case of Job, who had lost all his children; but he was mistaken if he thought he should die so, for he had after this as many children as he had before:

nor any remaining in his dwellings;
being all dead, or fled from them, through the terror, desolation, and destruction in them. Aben Ezra and Bar Tzemach interpret them places in which he was a sojourner or stranger; and Mr. Broughton, nor remnant in his pilgrimage.

Job 18:19 In-Context

17 All memory of their existence will fade from the earth; no one will remember their names.
18 They will be thrust from light into darkness, driven from the world.
19 They will have neither children nor grandchildren, nor any survivor in the place where they lived.
20 People in the west are appalled at their fate; people in the east are horrified.
21 They will say, ‘This was the home of a wicked person, the place of one who rejected God.’”
