Context of Job 36:24

22Behold, God doeth loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like unto him? 23Who hath enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness? Remember that thou magnify his work, Whereof men have sung. 25All men have looked thereon; Man beholdeth it afar off. 26Behold, God is great, and we know him not; The number of his years is unsearchable.

Commentaries on Job 36:24

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24Remember that thou magnify his work - Take this into consideration; instead of fretting against the dispensations of Divine providence, and quarrelling with thy Maker, attentively survey his works; consider the operation of his hands; and see the proofs of his wisdom in the plan of all, of his power in the production and support of all, and of his goodness in the end for which all have been made, and to which every operation in nature most obviously…Read the comment

He is not to be judged by the narrow views which we apply to the actions of people, but by the views which ought to be taken when we…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 24-33Verses 24-33 Elihu endeavours to fill Job with high thought of God, and so to persuade him into cheerful submission to his providence.

The connection is, returning to Job 36:5, God's "might" is shown in His "wisdom"; He alone can teach; yet, because He, as a sovereign, explains not all His dealings, forsooth Job must presume to teach Him (Is 40:13, 14; Ro 11:34; 1Co 2:16).
