Job 20:28 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

The increase of his house shall depart, [and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

Ver. 28. The increase of his house shall depart] All his posterity shall be destroyed, and so shall his prosperity to, even all at once, with a sudden ebb, in the day that God visiteth him with his wrath and righteous judgments. All the wicked man's wealth and revenue shall be wretchedly wasted and embezzled by one means or other.

And his goods shall flow away] As waters. The apostle saith, The fashion of this world passeth away; viz. as a hasty headlong torrent; or as a picture drawn upon the ice: "Thou carriest them away" (both persons and things) "as with a flood," Psalms 90:5 .
