22-25. God is not to be impiously arraigned, but to be praised for
His might, shown in His works.
exalteth--rather, doeth lofty things, shows His exalted power
[UMBREIT]
(Ps 21:13).
teacheth--
(Ps 94:12,
&c.). The connection is, returning to
Job 36:5,
God's "might" is shown in His "wisdom"; He alone can teach; yet,
because He, as a sovereign, explains not all His dealings, forsooth Job
must presume to teach Him
(Isa 40:13, 14;
Ro 11:34;
1Co 2:16).
So the transition to
Job 36:23
is natural. UMBREIT with the Septuagint
translates, "Who is Lord," wrongly, as this meaning belongs to
later Hebrew.
