Job 20:23 - Exposition

When he is about to fill his belly (comp. Job 20:12-18 ); i.e. "when he is on the point of making some fresh attack upon the weak and defenceless." God shall east the fury of his wrath upon him (comp. Psalms 78:30 , Psalms 78:31 , where a far less harmful lust is noted as having brought down the Divine vengeance). And shall rain it upon him while he is eating ; or, as his food (comp. Psalms 11:6 , "Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, storm and tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup").
