“In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him. wicked: or, troublesome”
Job 20:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 20:22
Prosperity brings judgment: 'In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.' At the peak of prosperity, trouble strikes—the Hebrew 'metsuqah' (straits/distress) suggests being trapped. 'Every hand' attacking suggests comprehensive assault. This describes sudden reversal, which did happen to Job—but not because of wickedness. Satan's attack, not divine judgment for sin, caused Job's reversal.
