Wesley's Notes for Job 20:19

20:17 See - Not enjoy that abundant satisfaction and comfort, which good men through God's blessings enjoy.

20:18 Swallow - So as to hold it. He shall not possess it long, nor to any considerable purpose. Yea, he shall be forced to part with his estate to make compensations for his wrongs. So that he shall not enjoy what he had gotten, because it shall be taken from him.

20:20 Belly - He shall have no peace in his mind. Desired - Any part of his desirable things, but shall forfeit and lose them all.

20:21 Therefore - It being publickly known that he was totally ruined, none of his kindred shall trouble themselves about any relicks of his estate.
