“As he has carried off the properties of the poor and has not restored them, so his own possessions will not be saved either. He shall not be saved by his desire. There is nothing remaining of his provisions; therefore his goods shall not flourish.”

Olympiodorus (early 6th century), Exegete and Deacon of Alexandria in Commentary on Job 20:19-21. PST 24:177-78.
