Job 22:24

Verse 24. Gold, to build and adorn thy habitation, verse 23. Hebrew “He will give thee gold instead of dust; (or more abundant) yea, gold of the torrents of Ophir.” The Phasis is said to roll gold dust, which is of the purest kind. Genesis 2:11. Calmet.—“Thou shalt lay upon gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir, as the stones of the brooks.” Prot. Bible.—This is an exaggeration, (3 Kennicott. 10:27. Calmet.) and a sort of proverb, intimating that strength and plenty should succeed to infirmity. The foundations should be the hard rock, instead of earth, and so forth
