Job 20:20

20 Porque no conoció sosiego en su interior, no retiene nada de lo que desea.

Job 20:20 Meaning and Commentary

Job 20:20

Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly
Or happiness in his children, so some in Bar Tzemach; rather shall have no satisfaction in his substance; though his belly is filled with hid treasure, it shall give him no contentment; he shall be a stranger to that divine art, but ever have a restless craving after more, which is his sin; but rather punishment is here meant, and the sense is, that he shall have no quiet in his conscience, no peace of mind, because of his sin in getting riches in an unlawful way:

he shall not save of that which he desired;
of his desirable things, his goods, his wealth, his riches, and even his children, all being gone, and none saved; respect may be had particularly to Job's case, who was stripped of everything, of all his substance and his children.

Job 20:20 In-Context

18 Devuelve lo que ha ganado, no lo puede tragar; en cuanto a las riquezas de su comercio, no las puede disfrutar.
19 Pues ha oprimido y abandonado a los pobres; se ha apoderado de una casa que no construyó.
20 Porque no conoció sosiego en su interior, no retiene nada de lo que desea.
21 Nada le quedó por devorar, por eso no dura su prosperidad.
22 En la plenitud de su abundancia estará en estrechez; la mano de todo el que sufre vendrá contra él.
