"I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir."

“I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.”
“I will make a man more rare than fine gold, even a man than the pure gold of Ophir. ”
“I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.”
“I will make human beings more scarce than pure gold, and people more scarce than gold from Ophir.”
“A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.”
“I will make men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir.”
Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.
Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.
Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.
