Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 20:22

22. In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits : every hand of the wicked shall be upon him.

In the height of prosperity and abundance he shall be distressed and tormented either by the horrours of an unquiet Mind and guilty Conscience, which makes him every moment expect Divine Vengeance to fall upon his head: Or rather, because of the sudden and unexpected assault of other men combining against him, and spoiling all his goods, as it follows.

Who lives by injury and the spoiling of others, and by God's Providence are directed to fall upon him. Or, of the labourer, whose wages possibly he hath detained: Or, of such as are in trouble or misery, as this word signifies, Iob 3. 20. who may joyntly invade him, either because their necessity tempts and drives them to spoil others; or rather because they were such as had been brought into their Calamity by his Oppressions, and therefore now take Reparations from him.
