Job 20:15

20:15 The wealth that he consumed he vomits up,

God will make him throw it out of his stomach.


tn Heb “swallowed.”

tn The choice of words is excellent. The verb יָרַשׁ (yarash) means either “to inherit” or “to disinherit; to dispossess.” The context makes the figure clear that God is administering the emetic to make the wicked throw up the wealth (thus, “God will make him throw it out…”); but since wealth is the subject there is a disinheritance meant here.
