Jó 20:20

20 “Certo é que a sua cobiça não lhe trará descanso,e o seu tesouro não o salvará.

Jó 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.

Jó 20:20 In-Context

18 Terá que devolver aquilo pelo que lutou, sem aproveitá-lo,e não desfrutará dos lucros do seu comércio.

19 Sim, pois ele tem oprimido os pobres e os tem deixado desamparados;apoderou-se de casas que não construiu.

20 “Certo é que a sua cobiça não lhe trará descanso,e o seu tesouro não o salvará.

21 Nada lhe restou para devorar;sua prosperidade não durará muito.

22 Em meio à sua fartura, a aflição o dominará;a força total da desgraça o atingirá.
