Job 20:15 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 20:15

13 Though he spares it and does not forsake it,
But still keeps it in his¹ mouth,

14 Yet his food in his stomach turns sour;
It becomes cobra venom within him.

15 He swallows down riches
And vomits them up again;
God casts them out of his belly.

16 He will suck the poison of cobras;
The viper’s tongue will slay him.

17 He will not see ^athe streams,
The rivers flowing with honey and cream.

18 He will restore that for which he labored,
And will not swallow it down;
From the proceeds of business
He will get no enjoyment.

19 For he has¹ oppressed and forsaken the poor,
He has violently seized a house which he did not build.
