Exegesis
The second repetition of velo {וְלֹ֣א | wə-lōʾ} with yaalos {יַעֲלֹֽס | yaʿălōs} ‘he will rejoice’ forms a parallel negative conclusion, intensifying the point: not only is the gain surrendered, but even the emotional payoff of success is denied.
In context — Job 20:18
He returns what he toiled for and does not swallow; like the wealth of his exchange, he does not rejoice.
