Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
Entonces tendrás tanto oro que será como polvo para ti, y el oro más fino será como piedras comunes junto al arroyo.
Dios promete abundancia tan grande que las riquezas se volverán comunes para el justo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Book of Job, this verse is part of a speech by Eliphaz, one of Job's friends, who is attempting to convince Job that his suffering stems from sin and that repentance will restore his prosperity. Eliphaz uses hyperbolic language to describe abundant wealth, comparing gold to something as common as dust or river stones, reflecting the ancient Near Eastern culture where gold from Ophir symbolized extreme riches and divine favor. Ophir was likely a real location, possibly in southern Arabia or Africa, known in biblical times for its valuable resources, emphasizing the theme of material blessings as a reward for righteousness.
