Job asserts his freedom from trust in money (I Timothy 6:17). Here he turns to his duty towards God, as before he had spoken of his duty towards himself and his neighbor. Covetousness is covert idolatry, as it transfers the heart from the Creator to the creature (Colossians 3:5). In Job 31:26-27 he passes to overt idolatry.
