Job 18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Bildad reproves Job
Bildad had before given Job good advice and encouragement; here he used nothing but rebukes, and declared his ruin. And he concluded that Job shut out the providence of God from the management of human affairs, because he would not admit himself to be wicked.

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
It seems that Bildad ignores Job when he draws his resolutions, or when the logic of his words comes to him or when the power of his words comes to him, and where his will leads him, because the fighter “continues” to fight. The more Job sees his enemies increase, the more he grows strong against them. The more he sees the number of the slanderers grow, the more he renews himself to fight back in favor of truth. It is not only by exhorting but also by becoming firmer that Job makes the truth appear. But Bildad ignores that, and that is why he has said, “How long will you continue?” It is necessary that Job respond, and since he has not said that, we will say it instead of him, “He will continue until his spirit animates you, until he makes sources spring, until he blows wisdom into sincere vases, until you are tortured by his words as by the strikes of a whip. For you do not understand the wisdom of God and do not know his economy with regard to the righteous and the sinners.” - "Homilies on Job 21.18.2–3"

Title: Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible Author: Matthew Henry
Bildad speaks these words because Job did not refrain from complaining by saying that he wanted to die. What sort of consolation is this? How could he have disheartened him in another way? He said, in fact, that the “stretches under heaven would be desolate,” or did he mention his death as if it brought a great contribution to this life that is common to us? Actually Bildad says the opposite: a man is nothing and deserves no mention. Why do you say that? Then he also foolishly and haphazardly accuses the impious, in order to support his present argument. They cannot put the blame on [Job] for any evil action. But notice their perversity; by saying that great misfortunes will befall the impious, they mention those afflictions suffered by Job, naming his miseries in their words, as if they wanted to show that they alluded to him. Notice and observe that their remarks about others are addressed to him. - "Commentary on Job 18.4b–c"

Job 18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
Ruin attends the wicked
Bildad describes the miserable condition of a wicked man; in which there is much certain truth, if we consider that a sinful condition is a sad condition, and that sin will be men’s ruin, if they do not repent. Though Bildad thought the application of it to Job was easy, yet it was not safe nor just. It is common for angry disputants to rank their opponents among God’s enemies, and to draw wrong conclusions from important truths. The destruction of the wicked is foretold. That destruction is represented under the similitude of a beast or bird caught in a snare, or a malefactor taken into custody. Satan, as he was a murderer, so he was a robber, from the beginning. He, the tempter, lays snares for sinners wherever they go. If he makes them sinful like himself, he will make them miserable like himself. Satan hunts for the precious life. In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare for himself, and God is preparing for his destruction. See here how the sinner runs himself into the snare.

Job 18:11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
The ruin of the wicked
Bildad describes the destruction wicked people are kept for, in the other world, and which in some degree, often seizes them in this world. The way of sin is the way of fear, and leads to everlasting confusion, of which the present terrors of an impure conscience are earnests, as in Cain and Judas. Miserable indeed is a wicked man’s death, how secure soever his life was. See him dying; all that he trusts to for his support shall be taken from him. How happy are the saints, and how indebted to the Lord Jesus, by whom death is so far done away and changed, that this king of terrors is become a friend and a servant! See the wicked man’s family sunk and cut off. His children shall perish, either with him or after him. Those who consult the true honor of their family, and its welfare, will be afraid of withering all by sin. The judgments of God follow the wicked man after death in this world, as a proof of the misery his soul is in after death, and as an earnest of that everlasting shame and contempt to which he shall rise in the great day. The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot, [Prov 10:7]. It would be well if this report of wicked men would cause any to flee from the wrath to come, from which their power, policy, and riches cannot deliver them. But Jesus ever liveth to deliver all who trust in him. Bear up then, suffering believers. Ye shall for a little time have sorrow, but your Beloved, your Savior, will see you again; your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh away.

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. - "Homilies on Job 21.18.12"

Ye shall for a little time have sorrow, but your Beloved, your Savior, will see you again; your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh away.

11Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.12His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction [shall be] ready at his side.13It shall devour the strength of his skin: [even] the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.14His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.15It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.16His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.17His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.18He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.19He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.20They that come after [him] shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.21Surely such [are] the dwellings of the wicked, and this [is] the place [of him that] knoweth not God.

Job 18:16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
The ruin of the wicked
Bildad describes the destruction wicked people are kept for, in the other world, and which in some degree, often seizes them in this world. The way of sin is the way of fear, and leads to everlasting confusion, of which the present terrors of an impure conscience are earnests, as in Cain and Judas. Miserable indeed is a wicked man’s death, how secure soever his life was. See him dying; all that he trusts to for his support shall be taken from him. How happy are the saints, and how indebted to the Lord Jesus, by whom death is so far done away and changed, that this king of terrors is become a friend and a servant! See the wicked man’s family sunk and cut off. His children shall perish, either with him or after him. Those who consult the true honor of their family, and its welfare, will be afraid of withering all by sin. The judgments of God follow the wicked man after death in this world, as a proof of the misery his soul is in after death, and as an earnest of that everlasting shame and contempt to which he shall rise in the great day. The memory of the just is blessed, but the name of the wicked shall rot, [Prov 10:7]. It would be well if this report of wicked men would cause any to flee from the wrath to come, from which their power, policy, and riches cannot deliver them. But Jesus ever liveth to deliver all who trust in him. Bear up then, suffering believers. Ye shall for a little time have sorrow, but your Beloved, your Savior, will see you again; your hearts shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh away.

These words mean that the punishment of the impious will be similar to the massacre of the Sodomites. “Their roots dry beneath, and their branches wither above” so that nothing useful to the impious may remain anywhere, beneath or above the ground. - "Commentary on Job 18.15–16"
