Job 18:5

Context

18:5 “Yes, 1  the lamp 2  of the wicked is extinguished;

his flame of fire 3  does not shine.

Job 41:21

Context

41:21 Its breath sets coals ablaze

and a flame shoots from its mouth.

1 tn Hebrew גַּם (gam, “also; moreover”), in view of what has just been said.

2 sn The lamp or the light can have a number of uses in the Bible. Here it is probably an implied metaphor for prosperity and happiness, for the good life itself.

3 tn The expression is literally “the flame of his fire,” but the pronominal suffix qualifies the entire bound construction. The two words together intensify the idea of the flame.
