Commentary on Job 18:6 (Summary)

Job 18:6 (ESV)

6 The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out.

When there is light in a home, it is a sign of life and happiness. The light in a wicked man’s home is extinguished. Again, Job is left with only one possible conclusion: I am that wicked man! After all, my home life has been destroyed.
