This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
None of his meat be left for his own future use; but he shall be stripped of all.
Therefore shall no man look for his goods; it being publicly known and observed that he was totally ruined, none of his kindred or friends shall trouble themselves to seek for any relics of his estate, as is usually done after men’s deaths. But this verse is and may be rendered otherwise, There shall none be left for his meat, (i.e. he shall leave no heir who shall possess or enjoy his goods,) because, (for so the Hebrew particle al-chen is oft used; as Gen_38:26 Num_14:13 Psa_42:7 Jer_48:36) none of his goods shall remain, either for his heir or any other; all shall be utterly lost.
