Job 18:19

19 Their family dies out among their people. No one is left 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 No one on earth remembers them. Their names are forgotten in the land.
18 They are driven from light into darkness. They are thrown out of the world.
19 Their family dies out among their people. No one is left where they used to live.
20 What has happened to them shocks the people in the west. It terrifies the people in the east.
21 Now you know what the homes of sinners are like. Those who don't know God live in places like that."
