Job 20:15

Context
NETBible

The wealth that he consumed 1  he vomits up, God will make him throw it out 2  of his stomach.

XREF

Pr 23:8; Mt 27:3,4

NET © Notes

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.
