There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

There shall none of his meat be left. Maurer translates 'Nothing was left to his voracity' - i:e., nothing escaped his voracity. The English version gives good sense-literally, 'Nothing shall be left for his meat.'

Look for - rather, because his goods, i:e., prosperity, shall have no endurance х yachiyl (H2342)].
