Job 36:24

"Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?"

Key Reflection

This verse challenges the idea that anyone can question God's justice or command over His creation. It suggests that while humans may not understand God’s ways, they should recognize and accept them as righteous, even if they are beyond human comprehension.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

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 universe, and that as the universal Parent, he will consult the welfare of the whole.
