18:6 The light in his tent grows dark;
his lamp above him is extinguished. 1
18:18 He is driven 2 from light into darkness
and is banished from the world.
1 tn The LXX interprets a little more precisely: “his lamp shall be put out with him.”
sn This thesis of Bildad will be questioned by Job in 21:17 – how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?
2 tn The verbs in this verse are plural; without the expressed subject they should be taken in the passive sense.
