“Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.”
Job 20:14 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 20:14
Sin becomes poison: 'Yet his meat is turned in his bowels, it is the gall of asps within him.' What tasted sweet becomes poison internally. The imagery of transformation—meat turning to gall (bitter poison) in bowels—depicts sin's ultimate effects. Asp venom represents deadly toxicity. This principle (sin's pleasure gives way to destruction) is true but Zophar misapplies it, assuming all suffering indicates such self-poisoning.
