Job 20:15

Context

20:15 The wealth that he consumed 1  he vomits up,

God will make him throw it out 2  of his stomach.

1 tn Heb “swallowed.”

2 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.
