swallowed.
Prov. 23:8• 8Thy morsel which thou hast eaten must thou vomit up, and thou wilt have wasted thy sweet words. (Prov. 23:8)
;
Matt. 27:3‑4• 3Then Judas, who delivered him up, seeing that he had been condemned, filled with remorse, returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
 4saying, I have sinned in having delivered up guiltless blood. But they said, What is that to us? see *thou* to that. (Matt. 27:3‑4)
• His riches, evilly acquired, will be torture to his closing days. Truly, all this is solemnly true. God is not arbi-trary in the punishment of the wicked; they treasure up “wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.” The “good things” received by the rich man, instead of leading him to gratitude and faith, were used for his own gratification—away from God—and thus did but return to tor-ture him with remorse. “Son, remember.” (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
