job 20:10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods. - Free Bible Online

job 20:10 "His sons favor the poor, And his hands give back his wealth.


      10. seek to please--"Atone to the poor" (by restoring the property of which they had been robbed by the father) [DE WETTE]. Better than English Version, "The children" are reduced to the humiliating condition of "seeking the favor of those very poor," whom the father had oppressed. But UMBREIT translates as Margin.
      his hands--rather, "their (the children's) hands."
      their goods--the goods of the poor. Righteous retribution! (Ex 20:5).
