Job 20:26

All darkness is laid up for his treasures;

A fire not blown shall consume him,

It shall devour him that is left in his tent.

"Darkness" is a figure for calamity; cf. ch. Job 15:22-23. "Laid up," i. e. reserved, destined, for. "Him that is left" may also mean "that which is left," Job 20:21. A fire "not blown" by mortal breath or man's mouth, but the fire of God, consumes him; or, it may be a fire which kindles itself, an allusion to the self-avenging nature of sin; cf. ch. Job 15:34.
