Job 36:5 - Exposition

Behold, God is mighty . The preface over, the argument to prove God's justice begins. First, he "is mighty." How unlikely that any one who is mighty—nay, almighty—should be unjust! Next, he despiseth not any. Job has wrongly charged him with "despising the work of his own hands." In truth, he despises nothing that he has made. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered" ( Matthew 10:29 , Matthew 10:30 ). Much less, then, is any man despised. Moreover, God is mighty in strength and wisdom; or rather, in strength of undertaking ' and therefore above the weakness of being unjust.
