"And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee." — Job 22:25 (ASV)
The Almighty shall be your defence. —Rather, And the Almighty shall be your treasure, and precious silver to you. The word thus qualifying silver occurs only three other times in the Bible: Psalms 95:4, The strength of the hills; Numbers 22:23–24, the strength of a unicorn. Its original idea is probably brightness or splendour.
