the Almighty himself will be your treasure.

and you will expect that God will be good to you.

KJV 1900King James Version

Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust,

And the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence,

And thou shalt have plenty of silver.

For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty,

And shalt lift up thy face unto God.
