Job 20:20
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.
In context
18 He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.
19 For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build.
20 Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.
21 Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.
22 In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.
