SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:16

Si amontonare plata como polvo, y si preparare ropa como lodo;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 27:16

Verse 16. Though he heap up silver ] Though he amass
riches in the greatest abundance, he shall not enjoy them. Unsanctified wealth is a curse to its possessor. Money, of all earthly possessions, is the most dangerous, as it is the readiest agent to do good or evil. He that perverts it is doubly cursed, because it affords him the most immediate means of sinful gratification; and he can sin more in an hour through this, than he can in a day or week by any other kind of property. On the other hand, they who use it aright have it in their power to do the most prompt and immediate good. Almost every kind of want may be speedily relieved by it. Hence, he who uses it as he ought is doubly blessed; while he who abuses it is doubly cursed.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11-23 - Job's
friends, on the same subject, spoke of the misery of wicked me before death as proportioned to their crimes; Job considered that if it were not so, still the consequences of their death would be dreadful Job undertook to set this matter in a true light. Death to a godly man is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but to a wicked man, it is like a storm, that hurries him away to destruction. While he lived, he had the benefit of sparing mercy; but now the day of God's patience is over, and he will pour out upon his his wrath. When God casts down a man, there is no flying from, no bearing up under his anger. Those who will not now flee to the arms of Divine grace, which are stretched out to receive them, will not be able to flee from the arms of Divine wrath, which will shortly be stretche out to destroy them. And what is a man profited if he gain the whol world, and thus lose his own soul __________________________________________________________________
