_ _ Umbreit translates, “His inward parts know no rest” from desires.

_ _ his belly — that is, peace inwardly.

_ _ not save — literally, “not escape with that which,” etc., alluding to Job’s having been stripped of his all.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 20:20

Belly — He shall have no peace in his mind. Desired — Any part of his desirable things, but shall forfeit and lose them all.
