Job 20:28

The increase of his house shall depart,.... Either his children or his substance. Some interpret it, as Kimchi h observes, of the walls of his house, because of what follows, "they shall flow away", c. as if he should say, the stones of his house shall fall down, and his habitation shall be destroyed, according to Micah 1:6 where a dilapidation is expressed by a flow, or pouring down of stones:

[and his goods] shall flow away in the day of his wrath; in the day of the wrath of God upon him, which will come upon him like water split on the ground, of no more use and service to him; the Targum interprets it of oil and wine, which shall flow away and cease, and so Mr. Broughton renders it, "fruits for his house"; all desirable and useful ones, see

Revelation 18:14.
