Context — Job's Reflection on the Wickedgenerated
Job 15:29 is part of Job's response to his friends, where he reflects on the fate of the wicked. He emphasizes that despite their apparent wealth, it will not last, and their possessions will not spread across the land. This theme resonates throughout the book of Job, where the transient nature of worldly riches is a recurrent subject, ultimately pointing to the futility of placing trust in material wealth.

The Key Word — יֶ֭עְשַׁר, Ye'.shargenerated
The verb עָשַׁר (ashar) means 'to be rich' or 'to enrich.' It is used here in the imperfect tense, indicating an ongoing or future action. In this context, it describes the eventual loss of wealth for the wicked, suggesting that their riches are temporary and will not endure.
This word captures the essence of financial prosperity, but Job's assertion is that such prosperity is fleeting. The focus is on the inevitability of decline for those who do not align with God's will.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
In the Berean Standard Bible, the verse uses rich and endure, which align with the KJV and ASV.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse consists of multiple clauses, with the main action centered around the finite verb יֶ֭עְשַׁר (he will be rich). This verb is followed by a series of negations and additional clauses that describe the consequences of the wicked's wealth.
The structure highlights the contrast between the expected richness and the reality of its absence, emphasizing the transient nature of material possessions.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יֶ֭עְשַׁר as πλουτισθῇ, which means 'to be enriched.' This choice indicates a focus on the action of becoming wealthy, while also suggesting that such wealth is not lasting.
This translation aligns with the Hebrew meaning but emphasizes the process of enrichment rather than the state of being rich.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Some render, “Neither shall their produce (that of the wicked) bend (luxuriantly) to the earth;” or, “their possessions or their achievements extend on the earth.”

AdamClarkeAdam Clarke's Commentary on the BibleVerse 29. He shall not be rich] The whole of what follows, to the end of the chapter, seems to be directed against Job himself, whom Eliphaz indirectly accuses of having been a tyrant and oppressor. The threatened evils are, 1. He shall not be rich, though he labours greatly to acquire riches. 2. His substance shall not continue - God will blast it, and deprive him of power to preserve it. 3. Neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof - all his works shall perish, for God will blot out his remembrance from under heaven.

Eliphaz instructs Job regarding the troubled conscience And the Disastrous Fate of the Wicked Man Having sufficiently rebuked Job’s presumption and irreverence Eliphaz proceeds to take up his principles, which “did away with the fear of God,” Job 15:4. They are such principles as Job gave forth ch. Job 9:22 seq., Job 12:6. The passage has two parts:— First, Job 15:17-19, a brief preface, in which Eliphaz states that his doctrine is that of the wise of all times among the pure-blooded races of men, who have never been contaminated by mixture with foreign tribes, and whose traditions are uncorrupted. Second, Job 15:20-35, the doctrine regarding the wicked man itself, in which there are…

אֶ֫רֶץ (erets) is a feminine noun meaning 'earth' or 'land.' It encompasses various meanings, including the whole earth, specific territories like Canaan, and even inhabitants of the land. It can refer to soil, ground, or regions, and is used in phrases related to distance and the living. There is a note on the plural form אֲרָצוֹת, which mainly appears in later texts to denote multiple lands.
