His strength shall be hunger-bitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
All Commentaries on Job 18:12 Go To Job 18
Hesychius of Jerusalem
AD 433
These words are appropriate to the impious but not at all to Job, because “pains have not destroyed him” but have made him appear to be a powerful fighter, have made him appear doubly just. Many have come, and “the soles of their feet have been devoured”; therefore, those who have come must complain about themselves and not about the righteous, because Job, thanks to his patience, deserves crowns and happiness.
