Berean Study Bible

then the Almighty
The term "Almighty" is translated from the Hebrew word "Shaddai," which emphasizes God's ultimate power and sovereignty. In the context of Job, this name for God underscores His ability to control all aspects of creation and life. Historically, "Shaddai" is a name that evokes reverence and awe, reminding believers of God's omnipotence and His role as the ultimate provider and protector. In a conservative Christian perspective, this highlights the importance of recognizing God's supreme authority in all circumstances.

will be your gold
Gold, in ancient times, was a symbol of wealth, purity, and value. It was often used in the construction of sacred objects and places, such as the Ark of the Covenant and Solomon's Temple. The phrase suggests that God Himself will be of greater value and worth than any material wealth. This reflects a spiritual truth that true riches are found in a relationship with God, rather than in earthly possessions. For believers, this is a call to prioritize spiritual wealth over material gain, trusting that God is the ultimate treasure.

and the finest silver
Silver, like gold, was a precious metal highly valued in the ancient world. It was used in trade and as currency, symbolizing economic stability and prosperity. The mention of "the finest silver" indicates not just any silver, but the best quality, suggesting that what God offers is superior to the best the world can provide. In a spiritual sense, this implies that the blessings and fulfillment found in God surpass even the most refined and desirable earthly treasures. It encourages believers to seek their satisfaction and security in God, who provides abundantly beyond material wealth.

for you
This phrase personalizes the promise, indicating that the relationship with God and the spiritual riches He offers are available to each individual believer. It emphasizes the personal nature of faith and the intimate relationship God desires with each person. In the context of Job, it serves as a reminder that despite his suffering, there is a personal and profound connection with God that transcends his circumstances. For Christians, this is an assurance that God's promises and presence are personally applicable, offering hope and encouragement in all situations.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

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

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 25. - Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defense; rather, thy treasure. The word is the same as that used in the first clause of ver. 24, It properly signifies "ore." The general meaning of the passage seems to be, "However rich thou mayest be in the precious metals, thy true treasure - that which thou wilt value most - will be the Almighty himself." And thou shalt have plenty of silver; or, and he shall be previous silver unto thee (see the Revised Version).
