EXPLANATION

Verse 19. Nothing. His riches are all left behind! The men of riches have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands. They awake as from a dream, (Calmet. 20:8. Bible.) and then they form a true estimate of things. Menochius.—God chiefly punishes the wicked in death. Psalms 75. Worthington.
