riches swallows and,vomit_~_up,them from,stomach,his casts,them god
Zophar is speaking as if a wicked person would literally swallow wealth but then vomit it back up again, and as if God would literally expel it or force it out of his belly, presumably by causing him to vomit. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “He is greedy to become rich, but he will lose all his money; God will cause him to lose it”
