Job 20:21

“There shall none of his meat be left, etc.] Not in his belly, all shall be cast up; none of his substance left for himself or others; none of his riches for his children or heirs, all being consumed: or this may respect either the profuseness or niggardliness of his living, that he should live in great luxury himself, but take no care of the poor; or else keep so mean a table, that there would be nothing left for the poor, not so much as a few crumbs to fall from it; but the first sense seems best; though some render the words, “there shall be none left for his meat” f791, or his substance; he shall leave no children, have no heirs, all his family shall be cut off, (see <181819> Job 18:19);…”

“none of his meat be left: or, be none left for his meat, Job 18:19; Jer 17:11; Luk 16:24, Luk 16:25 Job 20:22”

“21 Nothing escaped his covetousness, Therefore his prosperity shall not continue. 22 In the fulness of his need it shall be strait with him, Every hand of the needy shall come upon him. 23 It shall come to pass: in order to fill his belly, He sendeth forth the glow of His anger into him, And He causeth it to rain upon him into his flesh. 24 He must flee from an iron weapon, Therefore a brazen bow pierceth him through. 25 It teareth, then it cometh forth out of his body, And the steel out of his gall, The terrors of death come upon him. The words of Job 20:21 are: there was nothing that escaped (שׂריד, as Job 18:19, from שׂרד, Arab. šarada, aufugere) his eating (from אכל, not from אכל),…”
