Job 20:15
He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.
BSB
ASV
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.
KJV
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
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.
Or, if he do not himself refund what he has violently taken away, God will, by his providence, force him to it, and bring it about, one way or other, that ill-gotten goods shall return to the right owners: God shall cast them out of his belly, while yet the love of the sin is not cast out of his heart.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
