Ayub 28:17

28:17 Neither gold nor crystal ¹  can be compared with it,

nor can a vase ²  of gold match its worth.

Mazmur 19:11

19:11 Yes, your servant finds moral guidance there; ³ 

those who obey them receive a rich reward. ⁴ 

[28:17]  ¹ tn The word is from זָכַךְ (zakhakh, “clear”). It describes a transparent substance, and so “glass” is an appropriate translation. In the ancient world it was precious and so expensive.

[28:17]  ² tc The MT has “vase”; but the versions have a plural here, suggesting jewels of gold.

[19:11]  ³ tn Heb “moreover your servant is warned by them.”

[19:11]  ⁴ tn Heb “in the keeping of them [there is] a great reward.”
