Giobbe 18:17

17 La sua memoria scompare dal paese, più non s’ode il suo nome per le campagne.

Giobbe 18:17 Meaning and Commentary

Job 18:17

His remembrance shall perish from the earth
Not only are the wicked forgotten of God in heaven, and are as the slain he remembers no more, unless it be to pour out his wrath upon them, and punish them for their sins, for which great Babylon will come up in remembrance before him; but of men on earth, and in the very places where they were born, and lived all their days, ( Ecclesiastes 8:10 ) ( 9:5 ) ; yea, those places, houses and palaces, towns and cities, which they have built to perpetuate their memory among men, perish and come to nought, and their memorial with them, ( Psalms 9:5 Psalms 9:6 ) ( 49:11 ) ;

and he shall have no name in the street;
much less in the house of God, still less in heaven, in the Lamb's book of life; so far from it, that he shall have none on earth, no good name among men; if ever his name is mentioned after his death, it is with some brand of infamy upon him; he is not spoken of in public, in a court of judicature, nor in any place of commerce and trade, nor in any concourse of people, or public assembly of any note, especially with any credit or commendation; such is the difference between a good man and a wicked man, see ( Proverbs 11:7 ) .

Giobbe 18:17 In-Context

15 Nella sua tenda dimora chi non è de’ suoi, e la sua casa è cosparsa di zolfo.
16 In basso s’inaridiscono le sue radici, in alto son tagliati i suoi rami.
17 La sua memoria scompare dal paese, più non s’ode il suo nome per le campagne.
18 E’ cacciato dalla luce nelle tenebre, ed è bandito dal mondo.
19 Non lascia tra il suo popolo né figli, né nipoti, nessun superstite dov’egli soggiornava.
