Commentary on Job, part 23

The next part of Stepanos' commentary indicates that the possession of wealth itself is consistent with righteousness as long as one is not consumed with the insatiable desire for wealth.

If I arranged my gold in the soil and if I trusted in precious jewels; if I rejoiced in acquiring much wealth, and if I laid my hands on innumerable [treasures]. (31:24-25)

Although the righteous man was wealthy, nevertheless he expelled innumerable and immeasurable desire from his works. He admonishes also others not to trust in buried gold and amassed jewels.
