¹⁰ His children shalbe faine to agree with the poore, and his handes shall restore their goodes. ¹¹ From his youth his bones are full of pleasures, but now shall it lye downe within him in the earth. ¹² When wickednesse was sweete in his mouth, he hyd it vnder his tongue. ¹³ That he fauoured, that would he not forsake, but kept it close in his throte. ¹⁴ The bread that he did eate, is turned to the poyson of serpentes within his bodye. ¹⁵ The riches that he deuoured shall he parbreake againe: for God shall drawe them out of his belly. ¹⁶ He shall sucke the gall of serpentes, and the adders tongue shall slay him: ¹⁷ So that he shall no more see the ryuers and brookes of hony and butter. ¹⁸ The thing he hath laboured for, shall he restore, and shall not eate of it: great trauaile shall he make for riches, but he shall not enioy them. ¹⁹ And why? he hath oppressed the poore, and not helped them: houses hath he spoyled, and not builded them.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He hath swallowed down riches,.... Not his own, but another's, which he has spoiled him of and devoured, with as much eagerness, pleasure, and delight, as a hungry man swallows down his food; having an excessive and immoderate love of riches, and an insatiable desire after them, which make him stop at nothing, though ever so illicit, to obtain them; and when he has got them into his possession, thinks them as safe as the food in his belly, and never once dreams of refunding them, which yet he must do, as follows:

and he shall vomit them up again; that is, make restoration of them, not freely, but forcedly, with great reluctance, much pain of mind, and gripes of conscience:

God shall cast them out of his belly; he shall oblige him to cast them up again, by working upon his heart, making his mind uneasy, loading his conscience with guilt, so that he shall have no rest nor peace until he has done it; though they are as meat in his belly within him, they shall not remain with him; though they are in his house, in his coffers, or in his barns, they shall be fetched out from thence.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He hath swallowed down riches - He has “glutted” down riches - or gormandized them - or devoured them greedily. The Hebrew word בלע bela‛, means “to absorb, to devour with the idea of greediness.” It is descriptive of the voracity of a wild beast, and means here that he had devoured them eagerly, or voraciously.

And he shall vomit - As an epicure does that which he has drunk or swallowed with delight. “Noyes.” The idea is, that he shall lose that which he has acquired, and that it will be attended with loathing. All this is to a great extent true still, and may be applied to those who aim to accumulate wealth, and to lay up ill gotten gold. It will be ruinous to their peace; and the time will come when it will be looked on with inexpressible loathing. Zophar meant, undoubtedly, to apply this to Job, and to infer, that since it was a settled maxim that such would be the result of the ill-gotten gain of a wicked man, where a result like this “had” happened, that there must have been wickedness. How cutting and severe this must have been to Job can be easily conceived. The Septuagint renders this, “Out of his house let an angel drag him.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 20:15. He shall vomit them up again — This is also an allusion to an effect of most ordinary poisons; they occasion a nausea, and often excruciating vomiting; nature striving to eject what it knows, if retained, will be its bane.
