Though he heaps up silver like dust and prepares raiment like the clay, depicting the wicked's accumulation of wealth in vast quantities, suggesting that material abundance characterizes the wicked's apparent prosperity. The comparison of silver to dust and clothing to clay suggests quantities so vast they lose distinction and become like the ordinary earth, emphasizing the sheer magnitude of the wicked's wealth. The parallel structure of heaps silver and prepares raiment suggests comprehensive possession of wealth across both money and goods. This description of abundance sets up the contrast to follow, in which the wicked's wealth proves utterly unstable.
