Job 31:24 - Exposition

If I have made gold my hope . This is a sin with which the patriarch had not been directly charged. But it had been more or less insinuated (see Job 15:28 ; Job 20:10 , Job 20:15 , Job 20:19 ; Job 22:24 , etc.). He may also, perhaps, have felt some inclination to it. Or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence.
