SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:23
¶ Cuando se pusiere a llenar su vientre, Dios enviará sobre él el furor de su ira, y la hará llover sobre él y sobre su comida.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 20:23
Verse 23. When he is about to fill his belly ] Here seems a plain allusion to the lustings of the children of Israel in the desert. God showered down quails upon them, and showered down his wrath while the flesh was in their mouth. The allusion is too plain to be mistaken; and this gives some countenance to the bishop of Killala's version of the 20th verse : - "Because he acknowledged not the quail in his stomach, In the midst of his delight he shall not escape." That wl , which we translate quietness, means a quail, also the history of the Hebrews' lustings, Exod. xvi. 2-11, and Num. xi. 31-35, sufficiently proves. Let the reader mark all the expressions here, ver. 20-23, and compare them with Num. xi. 31-35, and he will probably be of opinion that Zophar has that history immediately in view, which speaks of the Hebrews' murmurings for bread and flesh, and the miraculous showers of manna and quails, and the judgments that fell on them for their murmurings. Let us compare a few passages:- Ver. 20. He shall not feel quietness - wl selav, the quail. "He shall not save of that which he desired." Ver. 21: "There shall none of his meat be left." Exod. xvi. 19: "Let no man leave of it till the morning." Ver. 22. In the fullness of his sufficiency, he shall be in straits. ] Exod. xvi. 20: "But some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms and stank." Ver. 23.
When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating. - Num. xi. x23: "And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of the Lord was kindled against the people, and the Lord smote the people with a very great plague." Psa. lxxviii. 26-x20: "He rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: so they did eat and were filled-but, while the meat was in their mouth, the wrath of God came upon them," &c. These show to what Zophar refers.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-29 - Zophar, having described the vexations which attend wicked practices shows their ruin from God's wrath. There is no fence against this, but in Christ, who is the only Covert from the storm and tempest, Isa 32:2 Zophar concludes, "This is the portion of a wicked man from God;" it is allotted him. Never was any doctrine better explained, or wors applied, than this by Zophar, who intended to prove Job a hypocrite Let us receive the good explanation, and make a better application, for warning to ourselves, to stand in awe and sin not. One view of Jesus directed by the Holy Spirit, and by him suitably impressed upon ou souls, will quell a thousand carnal reasonings about the suffering of the faithful __________________________________________________________________
