Job 18:19

19 They have no offspring or descendant among their people, and no survivor where they used to live.

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 Their memory perishes from the earth, and they have no name in the street.
18 They are thrust from light into darkness, and driven out of the world.
19 They have no offspring or descendant among their people, and no survivor where they used to live.
20 They of the west are appalled at their fate, and horror seizes those of the east.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the ungodly, such is the place of those who do not know God."
