Job 27:17 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. The just shall put it on - Money is God's property. "The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord;" and though it may be abused for a time by unrighteous hands, God, in the course of his providence, brings it back to its proper use; and often the righteous possess the inheritance of the wicked.
