“His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.”
Job 18:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 18:16
The wicked wither completely: 'His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.' Both root and branch dying suggests total destruction—no life remains to regenerate. This agricultural imagery depicts complete judgment. While Scripture teaches such comprehensive judgment awaits the finally impenitent, Bildad wrongly applies it to Job. Job's story demonstrates that apparent withering can precede miraculous restoration.
