Context of Job 36:24

22Look, God shows himself exalted by his power. Who is a teacher like him? 23Who has appointed his way for him, and who has declared, “You have done wrong”? Remember that you should praise his work, which people have sung about. 25All mankind has seen it; people have looked at it from a distance. 26Yes, God is exalted beyond our knowledge; the number of his years cannot be counted.

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.

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 22-2522-25. God is not to be impiously arraigned, but to be praised for His might, shown in His works. exalteth--rather, doeth lofty things, shows His exalted power [Umbreit] (Psa 21:13). teacheth--(Psa 94:12, &c.). 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).
