Job 20:20

20 Parce qu'il n'a pas connu le repos dans son avidité, il ne sauvera rien de ce qu'il a tant désiré;

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 Il rendra le fruit de son travail, et ne l'avalera pas; il restituera à proportion de ce qu'il aura amassé, et ne s'en réjouira pas.
19 Parce qu'il a foulé, abandonné le pauvre, pillé la maison au lieu de la bâtir;
20 Parce qu'il n'a pas connu le repos dans son avidité, il ne sauvera rien de ce qu'il a tant désiré;
21 Rien n'échappait à sa voracité, c'est pourquoi son bonheur ne durera pas.
22 Au comble de l'abondance, il sera dans la gêne; les mains de tous les malheureux se jetteront sur lui.
