Holy Scripture

Job 20:17

A church father on this verse
“"They will not rejoice on the division of the rivers, the streams flowing with honey and curds." These words mean that those rivers were divided on Mount Calvary, and the streams derived from the rivers signify the gifts of the Spirit communicated by the revelation of the Gospel.”
Ephrem the Syrian, 4th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 20:17

In context

15His wealth unjustly collected shall be vomited up; A messenger of wrath shall drag him out of his house.

16And let him suck the poison of serpents, And let the serpent’s tongue slay him.

— Job 20:17 —

18He has labored unprofitably and in vain, for wealth of which he shall not taste: It is as a lean thing, unfit for food, which he cannot swallow.

19For he has broken down the houses of many mighty men: And he has plundered a habitation, though he built it not.
