Commentary for Job 20:22

בִּמְלֹ֣אות שִׂ֭פְקוֹ יֵ֣צֶר ל֑וֹ כָּל־יַ֖ד עָמֵ֣ל תְּבוֹאֶֽנּוּ׃

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.

Rashi on Job

When his desire has been filled sufficiently when the desire of his heart has been filled sufficiently, then... he will be in straits Trouble will come upon him.
