Exegesis
The phrase mibli-lo {מִבְּלִי־לוֹ | mibbelî-lô} ‘because it is not his’ works adverbially to supply a reason or characterization: what occupies the tent is “alien” to him, signaling dispossession.
In context — Job 18:15
It will dwell in his tent, because it is not his; brimstone will be scattered upon his dwelling place.
