Job 36:26 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

God is great; infinite in majesty, and power, and wisdom, and all perfections, and therefore just in all his ways. We know him not, to wit, perfectly. Though we see something of him in his works, as was now said, yet we see and know but little of him in comparison of that which is in him. He is incomprehensibly great in his essence and in his works, and therefore be not so rash, O Job, as to censure those ways of God which thou canst not fully understand. He is from everlasting to everlasting, eternal, as in his being, so in all his counsels; which therefore must be infinitely wise, and above the comprehension of short-lived men.

Job 36:26

26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
