Job 36:26 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

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

God's greatness in heaven and earth: a reason why Job should bow under His afflicting hand.

Know him not - only in part, and afar off (Job 36:25; 1 Corinthians 13:12).

His years - (Psalms 90:2; Psalms 102:24; Psalms 102:27); applied to Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:12). His infinitude as to duration is the first characteristic of God's greatness noticed.
