Job 20:17

"Streams with their drinking water, and honey and cream, symbols of prosperity, cannot be enjoyed by sinners" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 743). Job 20:17-19 Even if the sinner becomes prosperous, it is short-lived and he must give back at death what he has acquired, in fact he is not even allowed to enjoy what he has gained. The reason for all this, according to Zophar, is that any prosperous sinner has acquired such gain by taking advantage of the poor, even taking their houses in order to enrich himself.
