“He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.”
Job 15:29 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 15:29
The wicked's wealth won't last: 'He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.' Eliphaz promises wealth gained wickedly cannot endure. The threefold negative—not rich, not continue, not prolong—emphasizes complete loss. While Proverbs affirms that ill-gotten gain doesn't profit (Proverbs 10:2), Eliphaz wrongly assumes all loss indicates prior wickedness. Job's losses don't prove he gained wealth wickedly.
