Job 20:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Shall seek to please the poor; either,

1. To get some small relief from them in their extreme necessity. Or rather,

2. Lest they should revenge themselves of them for the great and many injuries which their father did them, or seek to the magistrate for reparations. His hands shall restore their goods, by the sentence of the judge, to whom the oppressed poor will appeal, notwithstanding all their entreaties and endeavours to dissuade them from so-doing.

Job 20:10

10 His childrenc shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
