24. If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, [Thou art] my confidence; 25. If I rejoiced because my wealth [was] great, and because mine hand had gotten much; 26. If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking [in] brightness; 27. And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand: 28. This also [were] an iniquity [to be punished by] the judge: for I should have denied the God [that is] above.

Made gold my hope. Job had been rich, but he had not made gold his hope or confidence. His trust had been in God.
