Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 15:22

22. He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness ▪ and he is waited for of the sword .

i. e. When he falls into trouble, he despairs of God's mercy and of deliverance, by reason of his guilty Conscience: Which he speaks with particular reflection upon Iob who would receive no comfort nor matter of hope.

i. e. Besides the Calamity which is upon him, he is in constant expectation of further and greater miseries; for the sword is oft used for any grievous affliction; as Luke 2. 35.
