Job 36:7 - Exposition

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous . Under no circumstances does God cease to keep an eye upon the righteous, as Job had seemed to imply when he exclaimed, "Oh that I were as in months of old, in the days when God preserved me!" or "watched me!" ( Job 29:2 ). "The eyes of the Lord are" always "upon the righteous, as his ears are open unto their cry " ( Psalms 34:15 ). With kings are they on the throne . In some cases, God shows his care of the righteous by "setting them with princes, even with the princes of his people" ( Psalms 113:8 ), raising them, that is, to high station, and making them companions of the great of the earth. Yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted . They are permanently established in their high positions, like Joseph and Mordecai and Daniel; and they are exalted to the highest pitch of prosperity.
