Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 20:29

29. This is the portion of a wicked man from God , and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

Who like a wise Master of a Feast gives to every man his proper portion, and as a just Judge distributes to him according to his deserts.

Heb. the heritage (i. e. the Portion, as before, called here an heritage; partly to note the stability and assurance of it, that it is as firm as an Inheritance to the right Heir; and partly in opposition to that Inheritance which he had gotten by fraud and violence) of his word; either 1. of God's Word, i. e. which is allotted to him by the word or sentence of God. Or 2. of the wicked man's word, the reward of his speeches; which, like his actions, are and may well be presumed to be wicked and blasphemous, and many ways offensive to God: And he instanceth in his speeches rather than his actions, to meet with Iob, who, though he made some colourable excuses for his actions, yet was manifestly guilty of hard and sinful speeches against God; which he would hereby intimate, that they were not such harmless and excusable things as Iob pretended, as appeared by these severe judgments which they brought upon wicked men.
