Haydock's commentary
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, (chap. xx. 8.; Haydock) and then they form a true estimate of things. (Menochius)
God chiefly punishes the wicked in death, Psalm lxxv. (Worthington)
