Job 18:19

“He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, etc.] 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…”

“nephew--(so Isa 14:22). But it is translated "grandson" (Gen 21:23); translate "kinsman."”

“He shall neither have son ... - All his family shall be cut off. He shall have no one to perpetuate his name or remembrance. All this Job could not help applying to himself, as it was doubtless intended he should. The facts in his case were just such as were supposed in these proverbs about the wicked; and hence, his friends could not but conclude that he was a wicked man; and hence, his friends could not but conclude that he was a wicked man; and hence, too, since these were undisputed maxims, Job felt so much embarrassment in answering them. return to 'Top of Page'”

“18:19 This curse of childlessness (see 18:16; Pss 109:13; Isa 14:21-22) and Bildad’s earlier cruelty (Job 8:4) show that he regarded Job’s condition as the just reward for his wickedness (1:18-19).”

“neither: Job 1:19, Job 8:4, Job 42:13-16; Psa 109:13; Isa 14:21, Isa 14:22; Jer 22:30 nor any: Job 20:26-28; Isa 5:8, Isa 5:9 Job 18:20”
