‏ Job 36:23

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] (Psa 21:13).

teacheth--(Psa 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 (Is 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.
