Job 27:16 | MHM | STEP | v. 16–18 : Job continues, saying that the wicked may gather much wealth— heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay (Job 27:16 ). But they will not keep it forever. God will make sure the just shall wear his raiment, and the innocent shall divide his silver (Job 27:17; Proverbs 13:22 ). Even if they build fine houses, they are weak like the house of a moth or a hut in a garden (Job 27:18 ), and will soon be destroyed.

v. 16–18: Job continues, saying that the wicked may gather much wealth—heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay (Job 27:16 ^a). But they will not keep it forever. God will make sure the just shall wear his raiment, and the innocent shall divide his silver (Job 27:17; Proverbs 13:22 ^b). Even if they build fine houses, they are weak like the house of a moth or a hut in a garden (Job 27:18 ^c), and will soon be destroyed.
