Job 18:19

He has neither children nor descendants ¹  among his people, no survivor in those places he once stayed. ² 

Job 1:19; Job 8:4; Job 20:26-28; Job 42:13-16; Ps 109:13; Isa 5:8,9; Isa 14:21,22; Jer 22:30

¹ tn The two words נִין (nin, “offspring”) and נֶכֶד (nekhed, “posterity”) are always together and form an alliteration. This is hard to capture in English, but some have tried: Moffatt had “son and scion,” and Tur-Sinai had “breed or brood.” But the words are best simply translated as “lineage and posterity” or as in the NIV “offspring or descendants.”

² tn Heb “in his sojournings.” The verb גּוּר (gur) means “to reside; to sojourn” temporarily, without land rights. Even this word has been selected to stress the temporary nature of his stay on earth.
