Gill's Notes on the Bible

The increase of his house shall depart,.... Either his children or his substance. Some interpret it, as Kimchi h observes, of the walls of his house, because of what follows, "they shall flow away", c. 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The increase of his house shall depart - Septuagint, “Destruction shall bring his house to an end.” The word rendered “depart” (יגל yı̂gel from גלה gâlâh), means, properly, “shall go into captivity.” The sense is, that whatever he had laid up in his house would entirely disappear.

His goods shall flow away - What he had gained would seem to flow away like water.

In the day of his wrath - The wrath of God - for so the connection demands.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 20:28. The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. — A farther allusion to the punishment of the rebellious company of Korah, who not only perished themselves, but their houses also, and their goods. Numbers 16:32.

These examples were all in point, on the ground assumed by Zophar; and such well-attested facts would not be passed over by him, had he known the record of them; and that he did know it, alludes to it, and quotes the very circumstances, is more than probable.
