“His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.”
Job 18:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 18:12
The wicked's strength fails: 'His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.' Hunger-bitten strength suggests weakening from deprivation—vigor sapped by lack. Destruction stands ready, waiting to strike. Bildad describes comprehensive weakness and imminent danger. While applicable to some wicked, this doesn't explain Job's situation. Job's losses came suddenly through Satan's attacks, not gradual weakening from sin-caused deprivation.
