Job 36:22 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

Ver. 22. Behold, God exalteth by his power] Vulgate - God is high in his strength. He both exalteth himself and others whensoever he pleaseth. Beza reads it, Behold, God in his strength is above all; q.d. It is he that must restore thee, if ever thou beest restored.

Who teacheth like him?] Vulgate - None among the law givers is like unto him. But the word Moreh signifieth a doctor or a teacher; as Moreh Nebuchim, a teacher of perplexed things, an unriddler of riddles. He knows all things exactly, and does all things with singular skill and understanding. He hath many ways of teaching people, and making them to profit, Isaiah 48:17, and one is by afflictions, which Luther therefore fitly calleth Theologium Christianorum, the Christian system of divinity, as hath been before noted. Mr Ascham was a good school master, saith one, to Queen Elizabeth, but affliction was a better.
