he cannot save himself by his treasure.

21 Nothing is left for him to devour;

his prosperity will not endure.

20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly,

He shall not save of that which he desired.

21 There shall none of his meat be left;

Therefore shall no man look for his goods.

20 They were always greedy and never satisfied.

Nothing remains of all the things they dreamed about.

21 Nothing is left after they finish gorging themselves.

Therefore, their prosperity will not endure.

20 “Because he knows no quietness in his heart,

He will not save anything he desires.

21 Nothing is left for him to eat;

Therefore his well-being will not last.

20 “Evil people never lack an appetite,

and nothing escapes their selfishness.

21 But nothing will be left for them to eat;

their riches will not continue.

20 Because he knew no quietness within him,

He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.

21 There was nothing left that he devoured not;

Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

20 Because he knew no rest in his craving, he shall save nought of what he most desired. 21 Nothing escaped his greediness; therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

21 “Nothing is left for him to eat. 

His prosperity won’t last. 

20 Because his appetite is never satisfied,

he does not let anything he desires escape.

21 Nothing is left for him to consume;

therefore, his prosperity will not last.

he lets nothing escape that he desires.

21 There is nothing left after he has eaten;

therefore his prosperity will not endure.

20 “No matter how much they have,

they always long for more.

But their treasure can’t save them.

21 There isn’t anything left for them to eat up.

Their success won’t last.

He does not retain anything he desires.
