Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 20:23

23. When he is about to fill his belly , God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating .

i. e. When he hath enough and abundance to satisfie all his Appetites, and shall design to take the pleasure of all his gains, and to spend his days in Epicurism and sensuality.

Who is oft understood in this Book where he is not expressed; and so he is here, as appears from the following words; because there is no other person here expressed, who was to inflict these evils upon him; and because they are said to be rained down upon him; which implies their coming from heaven, or from God.

Some dreadful and destructive judgment.

This Phrase notes both the Author of his Plagues, God, and the nature and quality of them, that they shall come upon him like rain; i. e. with great vehemency, and so as he cannot prevent or avoid it.

As it fell upon thy Sons, Chap. 1. 18, 19. Compare Psalm 78. 30, 31.
