Context of Job 36:24
22“God does great things by his power. Is there any teacher like him? 23Who can tell him which way he should go? Who can say to him, ‘You did wrong’? Remember that you should praise his work. People have sung about it. 25Every person has seen it. Mortals have looked at it from a distance. 26“Certainly, God is so great that he is beyond our understanding. 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
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24Remember that thou magnify his work - Make this a great and settled principle, to remember that God is “great” in all that he does.

But while the worker of iniquity ought to tremble, the true believer should rejoice. Children should hear with pleasure their Father's voice, even when he speaks in terror to his…Read the comment
- 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). So the…Read the comment
