23If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents. 24And lay thou thy treasure in the dust, Andthe gold ofOphir among the stones of the brooks; And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee. 26For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God. 27Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.

Commentaries on Job 22:25
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25Thou shalt have plenty of silver - Here again the versions and critics vary.

Elegantly implying, it is less labor to find God than the hidden metals; at least to the humble seeker (Job 28:12-28). But [Maurer] "the…Read the comment
