AMPLIFIED 2015 | Job 22:24 And place your gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks [considering it of little value], |
Bible Question: Explain throw away your gold |
Bible Answer: Ok, for the third time.. The Disciple's Study Bible states, "JOB 22:21-26: Salvation, Repentance—Eliphaz urged Job to return to God so his prosperity would be restored. The popular notion mistakenly tied physical and material prosperity to repentance. Compare 34:31-33; 36:10. Job’s friend was mistaken. Salvation does not always bring material wealth. See note on 16:17." Nelson's NKJV Study Bible states, "22:24, 25 Eliphaz implies that Job has been trusting in his riches rather than in God, something Job would deny in 31:24, 25. Then he urges Job to trust in the Almighty God as he does in gold." Ryrie's Study Bible states, "22:24 Ophir. See note on 1 Kings 9:28." ... (1 Kings 9:28) "9:28 Ophir has been variously identified as southern Arabia, E Africa, or India. The gold amounted to about 504,000 oz (15.75 tons, or 14.25 metric tons)." Zondervan's NASB Study Bible adds, "'gold of Ophir.' See Job 28:16; the finest gold (see notes on 1 Kings 9:28; 10:11; Psalm 45:9; Isaiah 13:12)." MacArthur's NKJV Study Bible states, "Ophir. A land with high quality gold, whose location is uncertain (cf. Gen. 10:29; Job 28:16)." Please, one posting of a question is enough. There is no need to post the same question several times! Thank you. Nolan |
