Contextual Overview

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

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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Surely he shall not feel quietness - Margin, as in the Hebrew “know.” The sense is, he shall not know peace or tranquility. He shall be agitated and troubled. Wemyss, however, renders this, “Because his appetite could not be satisfied.” Noyes, “Because his avarice was insatiable.” So Rosenmuller explains it. So the Vulgate renders it, “Nec est satiatus renter ejus.” The Septuagint, “Neither is there safety to his property, nor shall he be saved by his desire.” But it seems to me that the former is the sense, and that the idea is, that he should not know peace or tranquility after he had obtained the things which he had so anxiously sought.

In his belly - Within him; in his mind or heart. The viscera in general in the Scriptures are regarded as the seat of the affections. We confine the idea now to the “heart.”

He shall not save of that which he desired - literally, he shall not “escape” with that which was an object of desire. He shall not be “delivered” from the evils which threaten him by obtaining that which he desired. All this shall be taken from him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 20:20. Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly — I have already remarked that the word בטן beten, which we translate belly, often means in the sacred Scriptures the whole of the human trunk; the regions of the thorax and abdomen, with their contents; the heart, lungs, liver, c., and consequently all the thoughts, purposes, and inclinations of the mind, of which those viscera were supposed to be the functionaries. The meaning seems to be, "He shall never be satisfied he shall have an endless desire after secular good, and shall never be able to obtain what he covets."
