I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir—the scarcity of humanity after the judgment, with the few survivors elevated in value because of their rarity. The comparison to precious metals suggests that the surviving remnant will be more valuable than any material wealth. This verse indicates that judgment will be so devastating that human life itself becomes precious beyond measure.
