swallowed.
Prov. 23:8• 8The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words. (Prov. 23:8)
;
Matt. 27:3‑4• 3Then Judas, which had betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought again the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
 4Saying, I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And 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)
