job 20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

job 20:22 "In the fulness of his plenty he will be cramped; The hand of everyone who suffers will come [against] him.

22. shall be--rather, "he is (feeleth) straitened." The next clause explains in what respect.
wicked--Rather, "the whole hand of the miserable (whom he had oppressed) cometh upon him"; namely, the sense of his having oppressed the poor, now in turn comes with all its power (hand) on him. This caused his "straitened" feeling even in prosperity.

job 20:22 "In the fulness of his plenty he will be cramped; The hand of everyone who suffers will come [against] him.
