Job 15:30 Context
28And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heapes. 29He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof vpon the earth. 30He shall not depart out of darkenesse, the flame shall drie vp his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he goe away. 31Let not him that is deceiued, trust in vanitie: for vanitie shalbe his recompence. 32It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not bee greene.

Wesley's Notes for Job 15:30
15:30 Depart - His misery shall have no end. Flame - God's anger and judgment upon him. Branches - His wealth, and power, and glory, wherewith he was encompassed, as trees are with their branches. His mouth - And this expression intimates, with how much ease God subdueth his enemies: his word, his blast; one act of his will is sufficient. Go - Heb. go back: that is, run away from God faster than he ran upon him, ver.#26|. So it is a continuation of the former metaphor of a conflict between two persons.
