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.

none of his meat be left: or, be none left for his meat, Job 18:19, Jeremiah 17:11, Luke 16:24, Luke 16:25

Gill's Notes on the Bible

There shall none of his meat be left,.... Not in his belly, all shall be cast up; none of his substance left for himself or others; none of his riches for his children or heirs, all being consumed: or this may respect either the profuseness or niggardliness of his living, that he should live in great luxury himself, but take no care of the poor; or else keep so mean a table, that there would be nothing left for the poor, not so much as a few crumbs to fall from it; but the first sense seems best; though some render the words, "there shall be none left for his meat" b, or his substance; he shall leave no children, have no heirs, all his family shall be cut off, see

Job 18:19;

therefore shall no man look for his goods; for there shall be none to look for them; or rather there shall be none to look for, all being gone: a man in good circumstances of life, his heirs expect to enjoy much at his death, but when he is stripped of all, as Job was, his relations and friends are in no expectation of having anything at his death; and therefore do not think it worth their while to look out, or make an inquiry whether there is anything for them or not, see

Job 20:28.

b אין שריד לאכלו "non erit superstes haeres qui ejus bonis fruetur"; so some in Mercer. Drusius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

“There shall none of his meat be left Margin, “or, be none left for his meat.” Noyes renders it, “Because nothing escaped his greatness.” Prof. Lee, “no surviver shall remain for his provision.” But the meaning, probably, is, nothing shall remain of his food, or it shall all be wasted, or dissipated.

Therefore, shall no man look for his goods - Or rather, his goods or his property shall not endure. But a great variety of interpretations has been given to the passage. The Hebrew word rendered “shall look,” יחיל yāchı̂yl, is from חוּל chûl, which means, “to turn round, to twist, to whirl;” and thence, arises the notion of being firm, stable, or strong - as a rope that is twisted is strong. That is the idea here; and the sense is, that his property should not be secure or firm; or that he should not prosper. Jerome renders it, “Nothing shall remain of his goods.” The Septuagint, “Therefore his good things - αὐτοῦ τὰ ἀγκθά autou ta agatha - shall not flourish” - ἀνθήσει anthēsei.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 20:21. There shall none of his meat be left — Coverdale translates thus: He devoured so gredily, that he left nothinge behynde, therefore his goodes shal not prospere. He shall be stripped of every thing.
