Job 22:25

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense; rather, thy treasure. The word is the same as that used in the first clause of Job 22:24, It properly signifies "ore." The general meaning of the passage seems to be, "However rich thou mayest be in the precious metals, thy true treasure—that which thou wilt value most—will be the Almighty himself."

And thou shalt have plenty of silver; or, and he shall be previous silver unto thee (see the Revised Version).
