Job 37:23 - Exposition

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out . This is the "conclusion of the whole matter." God is inscrutable, and man must hide his face before him and not presume to judge him. He is also excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice. His moral perfection is on a par with his might and majesty. He will not afflict ; rather, he will not answer ; i.e. he will not account to men for his doings, or condescend to justify himself in their eyes. His acts cannot but be righteous.
