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.

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

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
