Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - That which he laboured for he shall restore. Even that which he gets by his own honest labour he shall have to part with and give up. He shall not swallow it down; i.e. "shall not absorb it, and make it his own." According to his substance shall the restitution be. So Schultens, Professor Lee, and Dr. Stanley Leathes, who understand Zophar as asserting that, in order to compensate those whom he has robbed, the wicked man will have to make over to them all the wealth that is honestly his Others translate, "According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice" (see the Revised Version, and the commentaries of Ewald, Delitzsch, and Dillmann).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) That which he laboured for shall he restore . . .--The latter part of this verse is probably right; but it may be, "According to the substance that he hath gotten he shall not rejoice."
