Job 36:22 - Exposition

Behold, God exalteth by his power ; rather, behold , God doeth loftily in his power (see the Revised Version). Who teacheth like him? This has been called "the key-note of Elihu's whole discourse" (Cook). The entire providential government of the world by God he views as didactic, as a series of moral lessons addressed to men by their Maker (see Job 33:14 , Job 33:16 ; Job 35:11 ; Job 36:9 , etc.). If the lessons intended are taken to heart, then all goes well with men; if they are rejected, then very sad and terrible results follow ( Job 36:12 ).
