Job 20:19 in context
17He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
18That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

21There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
