Job 22:24 - Exposition

Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust ; rather, then shalt thou lay thy treasure in the dust ; i.e. hold it in slight esteem, because of its abundance. And the gold of Ophir (literally, and Ophir ) shall be to thee as the stones of the brooks ,. "Ophir" stands, no doubt, for untold wealth, being the great gold- producing country (see 1 Kings 9:28 ; 1 Kings 10:11 ; 1 Kings 22:48 , 1 Chronicles 29:1-30 :41; Psalms 45:9 ; Isaiah 13:12 ).
