job 20:18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein. - Free Bible Online

job 20:18 "He returns what he has attained And cannot swallow [it]; As to the riches of his trading, He cannot even enjoy [them].


      18. Image from food which is taken away from one before he can swallow it.
      restitution--(So Pr 6:31). The parallelism favors the English Version rather than the translation of GESENIUS, "As a possession to be restored in which he rejoices not."
      he shall not rejoice--His enjoyment of his ill-gotten gains shall then be at an end (Job 20:5).
