John Trapp on Job 20:17

Verſe 17.Mercer. He ſhall not ſee the Rivers, the floods, &c.] that is, that plenty and abundance of all good things that cometh in to the righteous, Velut confertim, certatim, & affati[illegible: 2 letters], a confluence of all manner of comforts and contentments. Theſe the Oppreſſour ſhall have none of; for being inſatiable and vexed with the furies of an evil conſcience, they enjoy not any thing, though they abound with all things, being worſe then Tantalized: and if after his fall he ſeek to recruit himſelf, he ſhall never be able to effect it. He ſhall not ſee the Rivers, &c. The Seventy, and others after them render it by an elegant Apoſtrophe, Ne ſpectes rivos, Let him never look after the Rivers, &c. for it will never be. He may pleaſe himſelf in hope and expectation of a better condition, but God will ſurely croſſe him. For his hoped for riches he ſhall have poverty, for pleaſure pain, for health ſickneſſe, for nouriſhment poiſon, for dignity diſgrace, for the favour of God, his wrath and hatred, for life deſtruction. A further account of the wicked mans non-enjoyment of what he had wrongfully wreſted from others, Zophar giveth us in the next verſe.
