Job 18:15

“It shall dwell in his tabernacle, etc.] What shall dwell in it is not said; there are various conjectures about it, and different supplements are made; the Targum is, “his wife shall dwell in a tabernacle not his;” and to the same purpose Jarchi; as if it was one part of the punishment of a wicked man, that he should leave a widow behind him, and no house of his own for her to dwell in; but this is the case of the widows of many good men, who themselves, in their lifetime, have no houses of their own, and some no certain dwelling places, yea, have lived in caves and dens of the earth; the mother of our Lord, who seems to have been a widow at his death, was taken by one of his disciples to…”

“dwell: Job 18:12, Job 18:13; Zac 5:4 because: Job 20:18-21, Job 31:38, Job 31:39; Jer 22:13; Hab 2:6-11 brimstone: Gen 19:24; Deu 29:23; Psa 11:6; Isa 34:9, Isa 34:10; Rev 19:20, Rev 21:8 Job 18:16”
