욥기 36:24-38:23 KRV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Job 36:24-33

Elihu is here endeavouring to possess Job with great and high thoughts of God, and so to persuade him into a cheerful submission to his providence. I. He represents the work of God, in general, as illustrious and conspicuous, Job 36:24. His whole work is so. God does nothing mean. This is a good reason why we should acquiesce in all the operations of his providence concerning us in particular. His visible works, those of nature, and which concern the world in general, are such as we admire and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Job 36:24

Remember that thou magnify his work ,.... Or his works; his works of creation and providence, which are great in themselves, and declare the greatness of God; and which, though they cannot be made greater than they are, men may be said to magnify them when they ascribe them to God, and magnify him on account of them; when they think and speak well of them, and give glory to God: and particularly by his work may be meant the chastisement of his people, which is a rod in his hand, which he... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Job 36:24

Remember 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 tends; and then magnify his work. Speak of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 36:1-33

The two chapters, Job 36:1-33 ; Job 37:1-24 , form a single discourse, and ought not to have been separated; or, at any rate, not so unskilfully as they are, in the middle of a description of a thunderstorm. They constitute a final appeal to Job, who is exhorted to submission, resignation, and patience, in consideration of God's inscrutability, and of his perfect justice, wisdom, and strength. Job 36:1-33 begins with a short preface ( Job 36:1-4 ), in which Elihu seeks to prove his... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 36:22-33

Elihu to Job: 4. A sermon on the greatness of God. I. ABSOLUTE IN HIS SOVEREIGNTY . 1 . Ruling by his own power. "Behold, God exalteth" ( se. himself), i.e. showeth himself to be exalted, "acteth loftily" (Delitzsch) "in his strength" (verse 22). The universal empire of God is based on his omnipotence. With him might and right are co-ordinate and coextensive. "He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves" ( Psalms... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 36:24

Remember that thou magnify his work . Instead of murmuring, Job should "magnify God's work." He should recognize the mercy of God, even in his own afflictions, and praise him for it. Which men behold. Men are looking on, anxiously considering Job's sufferings; he is a spectacle to them, as the apostles were to men and angels ( 1 Corinthians 4:9 ), and the more reason therefore that he should, by patient endurance, by submission and confession, cause his sufferings to redound to the glory... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Job 36:24

God praised for his works. I. CONSIDER HOW WORTHY OF PRAISE ARE THE WORKS OF GOD . We do not prize them so much fro' their vast bulk and infinite number as for their character and the manner in which they are executed. A small statue is more admirable than a huge boulder, and a minute and finely cut gem more precious than a great sea crag. Wherein, then, shall we find the specially praiseworthy characteristics of the works of God? 1 . In thoroughness. The infinitely... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Job 36:24

Remember 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 exalted far above us, and all his works are on a scale of vastness corresponding to his nature, and in all our attempts to judge of him and his doings, we should bear this in remembrance. 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 remember that he presides over the vast... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Job 36:24-25

Job 36:24-25. Remember Call to mind this thy duty; that thou magnify his work Every work which he doth; do not condemn any of his providential works, but adore them as done with admirable wisdom and justice. Behold With admiration and astonishment. Every man may see it Namely, his work last mentioned. The power, and wisdom, and greatness of God are so manifest in all his works, that all who are not stupid must see and acknowledge them. Man may behold it afar off The works of God... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Job 36:1-33

God’s unknowable purposes (36:1-37:24)Elihu, believing he has all the answers to Job’s questions, says he will now answer Job on God’s behalf (36:1-4). Certainly, God punishes the wicked, but he does not despise all who suffer. If the afflicted are truly righteous, they will soon be exalted (5-7). The reason he afflicts them is to show them their sin. If they repent, they will enjoy renewed and unbroken contentment; if not, they will suffer horrible deaths (8-12).Only the ungodly rebel against... read more
