This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
confidence - all that the father trusted in for domestic happiness, children, fortune, etc., referring to Job’s losses.
rooted out - suddenly torn away, it shall bring - that is, he shall be brought; or, as Umbreit better has, “Thou (God) shalt bring him slowly.” The Hebrew expresses, “to stride slowly and solemnly.” The godless has a fearful death for long before his eyes, and is at last taken by it. Alluding to Job’s case. The King of terrors, not like the heathen Pluto, the tabled ruler of the dead, but Death, with all its terrors to the ungodly, personified.
