Job 22:25

Thou shalt have plenty of silver - Here again the versions and critics vary. The critics may disagree; but the doctrine of Eliphaz is sufficiently plain: "To those whom God loves best he gives the most earthly good. The rich and the great are his high favorites: the poor and the distressed he holds for his enemies." In the above verses there seems to be a reference to the mode of obtaining the precious metals:

1. Gold in dust;

Gold in streams from the hills and mountains;

3. Silver in mines; תועפות כסף keseph toaphoth , "silver of giddiness," of mines so deep as to make one giddy by looking into them. See Mr. Good.
