Job 36:23
Verse 23 of 33. The 36th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
19Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
20Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
21Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
22Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
26Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
Job 36:23 in the World English Bible
Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?Read Job 36:23 in the WEB
Matthew Henry on Job 36:23
Let him not dare to prescribe to God, nor give him his measures (v. 22, 23): "Behold, God exalteth by his power," that is, "He does, may, and can set up and pull down whom he pleases, and therefore it is not for thee nor me to contend with him." The more we magnify God the more do we humble and abase ourselves.
