Baldad again reproves Job and describes the miseries of the wicked.
“These men are the tabernacles of the wicked, and this the place of him that knoweth not God.” (Job 18:21)
The wicked being turned away from God will inhabit their own dwellings that are in darkness, without God.
“‘Surely such are the dwellings of the ungodly, such is the place of those who do not know God,’ in that he who is now lifted up from ignorance of God is then brought to his own ‘dwellings’ where his own wickedness plunges him into woes. One day he finds ‘darkness his place,’ who while he made himself glad here in the counterfeit light of righteousness, was occupying the place of another. For bad people act deceitfully, striving to possess for themselves the righteous person’s good name, as of another place. But they are then brought to their own place, when they are tormented with everlasting fire, as the deserved punishment of their iniquity.” -St. Gregory The Dialogist
