Job 20:28

28 Les revenus de sa maison seront emportés, Ils disparaîtront au jour de la colère de Dieu.

Job 20:28 Meaning and Commentary

Job 20:28

The increase of his house shall depart
Either his children or his substance. Some interpret it, as Kimchi F8 observes, of the walls of his house, because of what follows, "they shall flow away" as if he should say, the stones of his house shall fall down, and his habitation shall be destroyed, according to ( Micah 1:6 ) ; where a dilapidation is expressed by a flow, or pouring down of stones:

[and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath;
in the day of the wrath of God upon him, which will come upon him like water split on the ground, of no more use and service to him; the Targum interprets it of oil and wine, which shall flow away and cease, and so Mr. Broughton renders it, "fruits for his house"; all desirable and useful ones, see ( Revelation 18:14 ) .

Job 20:28 In-Context

26 Toutes les calamités sont réservées à ses trésors; Il sera consumé par un feu que n'allumera point l'homme, Et ce qui restera dans sa tente en deviendra la pâture.
27 Les cieux dévoileront son iniquité, Et la terre s'élèvera contre lui.
28 Les revenus de sa maison seront emportés, Ils disparaîtront au jour de la colère de Dieu.
29 Telle est la part que Dieu réserve au méchant, Tel est l'héritage que Dieu lui destine.
