Job 20:20

20 Estuvieron siempre llenos de avaricia y nunca quedaron satisfechos;
no queda nada de todo lo que soñaron.

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 Devolverán todo lo que consiguieron con tanto esfuerzo;
su riqueza no les traerá alegría.

19 Pues oprimieron a los pobres y los dejaron sin nada;
se adueñaron de sus casas.

20 Estuvieron siempre llenos de avaricia y nunca quedaron satisfechos;
no queda nada de todo lo que soñaron.

21 Comen hasta hartarse pero después no les queda nada,
por eso, su prosperidad no perdurará.

22 »En medio de la abundancia, caerán en dificultades
y el sufrimiento se apoderará de ellos.
